Judith Smith

JUDITH SMITH, 76, of Somerset, New Jersey, passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
She was born on January 7, 1949, in Bramwell, West Virginia, the daughter of the late Samuel and Elizabeth (Smith) Davis. Judith was raised in Dunbar, West Virginia, and after attending college at West Virginia State University, she relocated to Somerset, where she built a beautiful life and made it her home.
Aside from her love of family and tradition, Judith was known for her strong work ethic and dedication, proudly committed to her work at Elementis Specialties until her well-earned retirement. She was also a devoted member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., cherishing the bonds of sisterhood throughout her life.
A compassionate and nurturing soul, Judith, known by all who loved her as Judy, loved spending time on her many crafts: knitting, needlework, and coloring; and she found great joy in cooking for family and friends. Above all, she was a devoted mother, aunt, and grandmother whose love and care enriched the lives of all who knew her.
She was predeceased by her sister Elizabeth Davis, and brother Samuel Davis Jr and her grand-pup, Cupcake.
Judith is survived by her loving husband, Zebudee Smith; her daughters, Zeborah Davenger and her companion Calvin III, and Zarah Smith and her companion Leroy Simmons; her sister, Janice D. Young of Dunbar; and her cherished grandchildren, Leroy Smith, Lashey Simmons, Dayvon Smith, Kameron Machiz, Leah Machiz, and Sakari Smith. She also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will forever remember her warmth, generosity, and love.
