Madelyn Grace Smith

With deep love and quiet sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved mother who left this world peacefully at the age of 84.

She was a woman whose life was defined by love freely given, patiently offered, and deeply felt. As a mother, she was the heart of her family, offering strength, guidance, and comfort through every season of life. Her presence was steady and reassuring, and her love was something her children will carry with them always.

She is survived by her three children, Cole Porter, Kaye Hook and Kyle Porter, and their 7 Children, Michael, Clay, Rachel, Justin, Ali, Jordan, and Ryan, who were the pride and joy of her life. She also leaves behind 13 great grandchildren. She was a confidante, a teacher, and a constant source of unconditional love.

She passed as she lived-gently and with grace. Though her physical presence is gone, her spirit remains in the memories she created, the values she instilled, and the love she leaves behind.

She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
