LaDonna Meeks Smith, 76, of Vestavia Hills, Alabama went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, February 27, 2022. She was born on April 2, 1945 in Talladega, Alabama. LaDonna was a devoted member of Salem Presbyterian Church, PCA. Gigi, as she was affectionately known, was a loving and devoted Mother, Grandmother, avid prayer warrior, and was loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be remembered for her devotion to others, her dedication to her family, and her love for the Lord.
In December of this year, she would have celebrated her 50th year of employment at Vulcan Materials Company in Birmingham, Alabama, where she will be remembered as a kind, loyal, and faithful coworker.
LaDonna was preceded in death by her parents, Luther M. and Mary W. Meeks; and brother, Ronald M. Meeks.
Survivors include her daughter, Payge Smith Chambliss (Lee) of Vestavia; granddaughter, Libby Chambliss Mitchell (Adam) of Chelsea; and sister, Brenda Brooks of Talladega.

I worked with LaDonna in Vulcan“s Corporate Office for 29 years. My son served in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and LaDonna made it a point to check on me and my son during those most difficult years. She was so loving and compassionate and will be dearly missed.

LaDonna was the picture of grace and someone I loved working with for many years. She always had a kind word and would thoughtfully ask about my family. She will certainly be missed all of us at Vulcan. Prayers for her family during this difficult time. Love, Rachel
