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 Online condolences or a fond memory of Marion can be expressed by visiting www.griffithsfuneralhomes.com
