Caroline R. Smith, former owner of Caroline Smith and Associates Real Estate 
Agency died Monday, December 19, 2011 in Covington, LA. She was 88 years old.

Mrs. Smith was born in Buffalo, NY and lived in Mandeville for the past 48 
years. She received her education in New York State and Southeastern Louisiana 
University and through extensive travel to 62 countries with husband Weldon P. 
Smith. Mrs. Smith was an executive secretary with the Buffalo Municipal Housing 
Authority from 1941- 1951. From 1964 – 1978 she taught second grade at Our Lady 
of the Lake School and in 1979 opened her own real estate agency, which she 
operated for 20 years until her retirement. A recent parishioner of Mary Queen

served on the City of Mandeville Planning and Zoning Board and was an active 
member of the St. Tammany Board of Realtors. She also served on the board of 
the St. Tammany Humane Society in the 70’s and was a Camp Fire Girl leader in 
the 60’s.

Before her death, Mrs. Smith requested that her gratitude be given to her 
wonderful family for their constant love and care, to her close friends for 
many happy moments shared, to her students at OLL for bringing her much joy and 
pride, and to so many friends, neighbors and acquaintances who enriched her 
life.
