Adele Smith Obituary
March 22, 1936 - May 5, 2025
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Adele Loudermilk Smith, who peacefully entered eternal rest on Monday, May 5, 2025, in the early hours of the morning. Born Hilda Adele Friel on March 22, 1936, in Marlinton, W.V., to Warwick and Virgie Friel, Adele's life was a testament to the strength and enduring love of family. She spent her formative years in Marlinton, receiving her education there before embarking on a life filled with love, family, and cherished memories. Her marriage to Howard Loudermilk blessed her with four children, Wayne (Deborah), Diane (Rusty), Nancy (Larry), and Laura (Glenn). Following Howard's passing after 48 years of marriage, Adele found love again with Beverly Stephen Smith, sharing five more years of marriage before his passing in 2020. Adele's final months were spent at Morningside of Charlottesville, where she was surrounded by warmth and care, notably Tonya and Brandy whom she praised often.
Preceded in death by her siblings, Mary, Forrest, Clarence, Ada, and Charles; as well as her beloved husbands, Howard and Steve. Adele leaves behind a legacy of love that extends through generations. She is survived by her four children, three grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren, all of whom will deeply miss her unwavering love and support.
To celebrate Adele's life and honor her memory, a funeral service was held on Thursday May 8th at Mount Eagle Baptist Church, 2419 Buck Island Road, Charlottesville, Va. with Pastor Sidney Craig officiating. Interment followed at Monticello Memory Gardens on Thomas Jefferson Pkwy. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Association. Arrangements have been entrusted to Teague Funeral Home. With heartfelt gratitude, we appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and support during this difficult time.
