Maud Smith Obituary

A native and resident of Lottie, LA, Maud Camille Smith transitioned to her heavenly home on April 2, 2022, at the age of 96 after a brief illness. Grandma Maud as she was affectionately called was one of ten offspring born to Aldoph and Zenobia Rylander Smith. Having lived for nearly ten decades she experienced many joys and sorrows, but what kept her all those years is a Bible verse that became her mantra, "The Lord is My Shepherd." She is survived by two adult children (her eldest child preceded her in death), four grandchildren, six great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. She will be remembered as a strong-willed, independent woman who liked McDonald's Egg McMuffin, Pepsi Cola, and giving KC Dinner Mints to anyone in reaching distance. Visitation will be held Monday, April 11, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. until the start of the Homegoing Celebration at 11:00 a.m. at Verrette's Funeral Home, 1018 Parent Street, New Roads, LA. Pastor John Joseph of the Green Chapel United Methodist Church will officiate. The Interment will be held at False River Station Cemetery in Blanks, LA. Professional services are entrusted to Verrette's Funeral Home.

Dear Mildred and Smith Family and Friends, we are saddened by Maud´s passing but also join you in rejoicing with the angels in heaven, for she now sits before our Lord. We became friends with Maud when we were all members of Mount Zion United Methodist Church of New Orleans. Was always a joy to talk with her about family memories and laugh at her witticisms. We pray for God´s Peace to rest over you as you trust Him to heal your hearts.
Your brother and sister in Christ,
Ed and Frances Ventress

Sweet Lady you will be missed dearly! I met Ms Maud 9 years ago! I remember the day as if it was yesterday! She walked into her favorite store, as she would say! Bill´s Dollar Store sold her favorite mints! She would give these mints to everyone, even me! She told me stories about her life! She would always say the Lord Is My Shepherd! She always told me, Baby I don´t worry about nothing! My Lord takes care of me! She was always sweet to me! It was always a pleasure to see her! Her daughter would bring her to the store, and we would have great conversations! You will always have a special place in my heart Ms Maud! Love you and may your beautiful soul rest in eternal peace, with our Heavenly Father!
