Lori Smith Obituary

Lori (Hubbard) Smith, 66, unexpectedly passed away on November 30, 2025, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the city where she was born and spent much of her life.

Born on September 29, 1959, Lori was the daughter of Georgia Hubbard and the late Richard L. Hubbard Sr. From a young age, she carried a caring and nurturing spirit that became the hallmark of her personality. Her sense of humor brought light to every room she entered and created joyful memories for all who were fortunate enough to know her.



Lori had a deep love for flowers, animals, cooking, and collecting vintage treasures - passions that reflected her gentle heart and her appreciation for beauty in everyday life, she found comfort and happiness in simple moments.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughter Miranda (Gordon) Pominville; her mother Georgia Hubbard; her siblings: Richard (Pat) Hubbard, Dennis (Janet) Hubbard, Lynn Kelly Meranski (Mike) and Michael Hubbard; as well as her significant other Frank Carmona. Each held a special place in Lori's heart.

Lori's warmth, humor, and compassion will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. May her memory bring comfort and love to those who mourn her passing.

A private celebration of life for the family will be held at a later date.

So sorry to read this, and so shocking. I have the fondest memories of working with Lori at the Dakota back in the 1990s. She was so much fun and such a good person. Please accept my deepest condolences.
