Sally was joined in marriage to Darryl Smith on August 15, 1964 at St. Mark Lutheran Church in Flint, MI. They were married 52 years and raised four beautiful children. Sally was an extremely bright and talented woman who had a seemingly unquenchable thirst for knowledge, reading, learning and volunteering. As a student she campaigned for John F. Kennedy and continued to be actively involved in her love of politics. She was a past member of Flint Junior Women’s League. She was a speaker for LWML for 40 years. She began the Kearsley High School Service Learning Program. The Sally Smith Service Learning Award is given in her honor each year. At an early age she professed her faith in Jesus Christ. Her Christian life was as beautiful as the grandchildren she loved so well and her influence will forever remain in the lives of all who knew her. Known for her contagious smile, ease and frequent conversation with even complete strangers, who even now are being changed by her witness of constant love and faith in God. Her strong witness of her Lord and Savior will never be forgotten, Her Christian example was tireless. She served her Lord in many leadership capacities at St. Mark Lutheran some of which include, Superintendent of Sunday School and Wednesday Night School, Chairman of the Ladies Guild, member of the choir, Chairman of the Altar Guild, leader of Hearts and Hands ministry, Adult Bible Study leader, strong supporter and volunteer of St. Mark Lutheran School.
