Vivian Smith Obituary
Nana spent many years working in the fabric department at Wal-Mart, where her kindness and creativity were appreciated by all who knew her. She had a deep love for life and filled her days with the hobbies that brought her joy - reading, crocheting, working puzzles, hiking, swimming, and, most of all, spending precious time with her family.
She will be remembered for her warm spirit, her gentle heart, and the countless moments of love she shared with those around her.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Curtis R. and Louise Hallman; son, Michael Skinner; brother, Tony Hallman.
Those left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Melissa Barnes and Tracy Pennington (David); 7 grandchildren; 6 great grandchildren; siblings, Linda Cutchins (Johnnie), Pat Johnson, and Bobby Hallman (Mary) along with many nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
