Dolores Ilene Smith

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:10 Dolores Ilene (Meredith) Smith, 84, of Huntington, WV, has shed her earthly body and put on her heavenly raiment to meet her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on August 14, 2019. She was preceded in death by her parents, Benjamin Columbus Meredith, Sr., and Nellie Leatrice Bellomy; her sister, Pamela Meredith; her husband, Lyle Houston Smith. She leaves behind to mourn her passing are her two sons: Dana Lyle Smith, and Jason Alan Smith; two brothers, Berlin Ray Meredith, Sr. (Carol), and Benjamin Columbus Meredith, Jr. (Carolyn); her niece, Angela Dawn Meredith; two nephews, Berlin Ray Meredith II (Kathy), and Brian Keith Meredith; three great-nephews: Joshua Tyler Meredith, Keenan Joseph Meredith and Benjamin "Trey" Cobb; one great-niece, Meredith Gabrielle "Gabi" Cobb; and a very special friend, Sharon Sue Wheeler, who spent many days caring for her. She also leaves behind several cousins and friends, whom she loved dearly. Dolores fought a gallant fight to stay here with her two sons, whom she loved with all her heart and devoted her life to; she became torn between the natural desire to stay here with her family and the call to her heavenly destination. Visitation will be held from 1:30 3:00 P.M., Sunday, August 18, 2019 at Prince of Peace Free Will Baptist Church with funeral services beginning at 3 P.M., with Pastor Phillip Warren, officiating. Burial will follow at Docks Creek Cemetery in Kenova, WV. Ceredo-Kenova Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to the Prince of Peace Free Will Baptist Church or the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House.
