We gather with heavy hearts and deep reverence to honor the life of Jessica Linette Smith, a beloved daughter, sister, mother, friend, and neighbor, who passed away on May 20, 2025, at the age of 40. A lifelong resident of Bryant, Alabama, Jessica was a beacon of love, selflessness, and resilience—an unwavering presence in the lives of all who had the privilege to know her.
Jessica’s life was defined not only by her actions but by the way she made others feel. She had a smile that could brighten the darkest days and a heart big enough to embrace a community. Whether it was lending a helping hand to a neighbor, volunteering at local schools, or simply listening with compassion, Jessica radiated a warmth that made people feel seen, heard, and valued.
She was a devoted family woman, treasuring every moment spent with her loved ones. Jessica found joy in the simple things—Sunday dinners, walks along the mountain ridge, storytelling under the stars, and laughter that echoed through her home. She was a steady source of encouragement, always offering words of wisdom and unconditional love.
Jessica had a deep faith and a quiet strength that guided her through life’s challenges. Her courage and grace were most evident in the face of adversity, where she remained rooted in hope and compassion. Through her acts of kindness, she became a source of light for so many, a legacy that will continue to ripple through the lives she touched.
Her memory lives on in the hearts of those she leaves behind—her family, friends, and all in the Bryant community who were blessed to share in her journey. As we grieve this profound loss, let us also celebrate the beauty of her life and the strength of her spirit. Let us remember her laughter, her generosity, her fierce love, and the indelible mark she left on our souls.
