ALLENWOOD — Carrie K. Smith, 94, of Allenwood, went home to be with Jesus on Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012, after a short stay at the Buffalo Valley Lutheran Village, Lewisburg.

Carrie was a founding member of the former Spring Garden God’s Missionary Church in Allenwood and a member at the time of her passing of New Columbia God’s Missionary Church. Carrie was very faithful to her church. In her earlier years, Carrie assisted on the dairy farm of the former Kessler Farms, of Watsontown. She later worked in a sewing factory, the Montgomery Mills, and lastly at the Milton Shoe Factory. Carrie was a remarkable seamstress, enjoyed making quilts and was an avid crocheter. She made afghans for nearly every member of the family.

Smith and his wife, Marlene, of Allenwood; one brother, Clyde Long and his wife, Kay, of Northumberland; and four grandchildren, Gary Smith and wife Cathy, of Mifflinburg, Cynthia Bargerstock and husband Jeffrey, of Massillon, Ohio., Richard Smith, of Boynton Beach, Fla., and Alexia Smith, of Allenwood.
