Jamie Katherine Smith

Jamie Katherine “Pixie” Smith departed this life on Friday, September 5, 2025, after a long battle with illness. Jamie was born second child to the marriage of James B. and Rose Mary Smith on December 11, 1979. She accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age and maintained a relationship with God through daily conversations with Him throughout her later life. She spoke with Him as though he was in the room, a friend and father to whom she could always turn.

Jamie joined Jokers Wrath Motorcycle Club in 2010 and served in multiple local leadership roles over the years. She was National Public Relations Officer of the organization at the time of her passing. She was devoted to her MC family and was loved and respected in turn for her loving, giving nature. She gained joy from making others smile or lifting the drudgery from their days.

Jamie is survived by her parents, James B. Smith and Rose Mary Smith of Columbus, Ohio area, three sisters: Sylena (Neil) Sachs of Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania; Adrienne (Michael) Block of Humble, Texas; Charlesa McAdo of Detroit, Michigan; and one brother, James Hudson of Detroit, Michigan; one Uncle, David (Denise) Bell of Detroit, Michigan; one Aunt, Veronica (Alden) Jarvis of Southgate, Michigan; Great Aunts Hazel Clements of Fayetteville, Georgia, Marian Williams of Atlanta, Georgia; Angelene Smith, currently of Boston, Massachusetts; and Beverly Smith of Dayton, Ohio; dear friends Jazmin (Jary) Braxton, Cutello Reardon, and Teddy Williams; and a host of cousins, friends, and extended family across several states.

Throughout her life, Jamie defied weariness, tackled weakness head-on, and refused to admit there was anything she could not do. Her light and personality illuminated the space around her even through endless days in hospital rooms and treatment centers. She kept going until her body could no longer obey and kept fighting even when she felt everyone else had given up. She would want us to remember to laugh. She would want us to remember to dance. She would want us to hold fast onto our joy. She would want us to remember never to take life for granted.
