Donna Beth Smith, age 70, of Weldon, Arkansas, passed away on November 1, 2024. Born in Jonesboro on January 19, 1954, to George W. and Novela (Wilkins) Puckett, Donna was a dedicated truck driver, known for her hard work and resilience.
Beyond her career, Donna found great joy in the simpler things in life. She had a love for raising animals and took pride in her beautiful flower and vegetable gardens, where she spent countless hours nurturing the land. Her love for puzzles showed her quick wit and patience, with crosswords being a favorite pastime.
Donna was much more than her work and hobbies—she was a beloved wife, mother, sister, and grandmother, whose warmth and kindness were felt deeply by all who knew her. Her family and friends will remember her for her caring nature, love of family, and strength of character.
Donna’s memory will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind, a testament to a life well-lived and a spirit that will be dearly missed.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
She is survived by her husband, Huey Smith; her son, Joey Smith; her daughter, Nancy Quirrels (Daniel); her sister, Jeanette Bennett (Bobby); her grandchild, Tyler Koller; her great grandchild, Colton Koller; and a lifetime of friends.
Visitation will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at Dillinger Funeral Home Chapel.
