Emogene Smith Obituary

She was born on June 26, 1944, in Barbour County, and held dual residence in Pittsview and Spring Lake, N.C. (where she lived at the time of her departure).
Emogene loved God, and she began to know the Lord at the age of 8. She is known for her love and many acts of kindness and service, which she demonstrated through relationships in the community, at work, church and home by compelling others to get to know the Lord. Even in her time of illness, she remained a faithful advocate for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Emogene is preceded in death by her siblings, Rosa "Tunch" Louder Wilborn, Lula Louder Bass (Theodis), Lizzie Louder Johnson, Amy Louder Pierce and Katie Louder Davis (Napoleon).
