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.

My deepest condolences to Miranda, Frank, Lori's mother, and the rest of Lori's family. Lori was a best friend of my mother (who welcomes her to heaven) and was a big part of my childhood. I remember when Lori took me to New Hampshire to visit Miranda when I was a child. We had so much fun and even took a helicopter ride to asking resort! Lori was so caring, loving and kind and always had a smile on her face! Keeping Lori's loved ones in my prayers!

I am devastated to hear of Lori´s untimely departure. I have known Lori since childhood when I walked with her on her first day of kindergarten . We shared so many wonderful times in our youth. I remember her coming to my house with her ice skates slung over her shoulder to ask me to go ice skating with her or to walk.with her to the corner store for candy . As she grew up she helped many people. She had a beautiful and caring heart . She always came up our family´s house on Thanksgiving and Christmas as her family celebrated early in the day and my family celebrated later in the day .My heart is broken at her loss . My heart goes out to her family , her dear significant other , Frank, and her beloved daughter Miranda. I am sharing a photo of Lori at my family´s house on Christmas Day when she was 17. I am heartbroken that she gone snd as we last spoke last month we decided to visit this Christmas once again . I love you Lori in heaven now

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.

I am heart broken to hear of Lori´s passing. We became very close when she cared for my elderly parents. I don´t know what we would have done without her, since my sister and I are long distance. I will miss her friendship terrible.
