Those left to cherish and honor her memories include a son, David A. Mecimore, and his wife Darlene; two grandchildren, Jamie Smith and her husband James, and Josh Mecimore; great-grandchildren, Ella Rae Smith and Anderson Smith; and a number of nieces, nephews and friends.

The funeral service will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at Little River Baptist Church. Rev. Jeff Chapman and Dr. James Smith will officiate. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
