Maggie Smith, of Corbin, Kentucky, passed away on Saturday, August 2, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on October 16, 1944, in Bell County, Kentucky, Maggie was a dedicated associate at Walmart before retiring, and her dedication and commitment to her work were admired by her colleagues and supervisors alike.
