Ramona Sue Clark Smith
Ramona Sue Clark Smith died peacefully on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at the age of 96. Visitation will be held at 10:00 on Monday, November 16, 2026 at Albertville Memorial Chapel followed by a graveside service at 11:30 at Marshall Memorial Gardens with Rev. Tammy Jackson officiating. Pallbearers will be Glenn Dean, Jonathan Dean, Bubba Dean, Hunner Royal, Edward Luce, and Chris Luce.
Ramona lived a long and full life. She was born the first child of the late Edwin Lee and Blanche Reynolds Clark. She grew up in Albertville, Alabama and was a graduate of Albertville High School. Ramona was a recent resident of Auburn after living in Montgomery for 58 years where she had a long career with the State of Alabama. Her passion was her family and her home. She was a dedicated homemaker who derived great pleasure from making her home warm and inviting and she especially enjoyed sewing beautiful dresses for her daughters when they were young and making matching outfits for their dolls. Nothing pleased her more than having her family gathered together, especially during holidays. Ramona relished traveling and spending time at the family’s vacation home on Lake Guntersville. She was a member of First United Methodist in Montgomery and an active member of the Tower Class as long as her health allowed. Ramona will long be remembered through the cherished memories of the many lives she touched.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of almost 61 years, T. G. Smith, and her brothers, Morris Clark and Bob Clark.
Ramona is survived by her daughters Beverly Smith Dean and her husband Glenn and Nancy Smith Luce and her husband Edward; Grandchildren; Jonathan Dean and his wife Jennifer, Catherine Luce and her husband Taylor Winstead, Christopher Luce, Alec Luce and his wife Susan, and Jamie Luce and his wife Amy; Great-Grandchildren, Emily Dean, John (Bubba) Dean, Caleb Winstead, Caitlyn Luce Bing and her husband Joe, Jonathan Luce, Madison Luce, Kyle Luce, Hunner Royal, and Taylor Royal and other beloved family members.
The family expresses deep appreciation to Auburn Assisted Living Memory Care, Compassus Hospice, and Bethany House for their exceptional care of Ramona during the last months of her life.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in Ramona’s memory may be sent to Bethany House 1171 Gatewood Drive, Building 100, Auburn, Alabama 36830, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or Stegall Seminary Scholarship Fund, P. O. Box 241661, Montgomery, Al. 36124.
