Hazel “Jeanette” Smith, 82, died Friday January 3, 2020 at North Mississippi Medical Center. She was born July 13, 1937 to Rex Vernon Stanford and Mary Louise Hall Stanford.
Jeanette spent most of her working years doing assembly work for Rockwell Manufacturing. She was a stout member of Tupelo Freewill Baptist Church. Jeanette loved fishing, the outdoors, and was an avid reader. Most importantly, she always had a smile on her face and adored her family, specifically her grandkids and great grandkids.
A memorial service celebrating her life will be held Friday January 10, 2020 at 6 PM at the Tupelo Chapel of Holland Funeral Directors with Bro. Terry Pierce officiating. Visitation will be 4 PM to service time only Friday.
Jeanette is survived by her daughter, Myra Killough of Tupelo; her sister, Lynda Johnson of Tupelo; her grandkids, Joshua Killough (Amy) of Richland, NC, and Matthew Killough of Tupelo; and her great-grandkids, Jessica and Karleigh Killough. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Ernest J. Smith; and her brothers, Johnny and James Stanford.
