Marion Smith
July 11, 1942 — February 24, 2021
Marion A (Potzgo) Smith, wife, mother, aunt, friend, of Maple Street Weatherly passed away on Wednesday February 24, 2021 at Lehigh Valley Hazleton Campus at 78 years of age.
Born in Buck Mountain the daughter of the late Michael and Martha (Wassel) Potzgo. She was also predeceased by her sister, Mary Jane Smith.
Surviving are; husband, David Smith; daughter, Keri Lee (Melinda)
Smith of Centreville, VA; nieces Diane Williams (David), Shannon Merkel (Austin); nephews Kevin Smith (Kelly), TJ Dunphy (Lexi).
Marion attended Weatherly High School. Marion worked as a nursing assistant at Weatherwood, formerly The Carbon County Home, and after retirement as a private duty aide for many local families.
Caring for others was her life’s calling and she could always be counted on to lend an ear or a hand in her compassionate care and comfort of others.
She was an avid animal lover of her own pets, especially Merlin, Jake, and Peppy and cared for many feral cats having helped to have them spayed, neutered and ready for “forever” homes.
Always placing family first, Marion provided loving care to her own parents for years prior to their deaths without a sense of burden, and with deep pride. Words cannot describe the feeling of the loss of this most gentle woman. We are forever grateful for her spirit and kindness, and positivity; even through the health struggles she had endured over the past several years.
Private arrangements entrusted to the Philip J. Jeffries Funeral Home & Cremation Services of 211 First Street Weatherly, Pennsylvania 18255. (570) 427-4231.
Contributions in her honor may be made to Carbon County Animal Shelter, The Mrs. CM Schwab Restoration Project, or Eckley Miner’s Village
