Carlene Smith Obituary
on December 18th 2024, surrounded by love and family at home at the age of 80. If you
knew her, you loved her, and she loved you. Her favorite song, "Change my heart oh
God," included her prayer to Jesus, "May I be like you?" And she was. Her generosity,
joy, kindness, positivity and compassionate smile were a bright light wherever she went.
Carlene was born in Fulton, Kentucky, lived in Southern California, and then moved to
Lake Havasu City in 2007. She loved music, dancing, to hang out with her family and
friends and participate in Bible Studies and service at Calvary Baptist Church. She is
survived by family who aspire to live up to the legacy of love, light and joy that she
created.
John 3:17 God did not send His son into the world to judge the world, but to save the
world through Him.
