Maxfield Smith, 92, of Tornado, WV, left for his Heavenly home on February 10, 2020 at Hospice West in South Charleston after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
He was preceded in death by 6 sisters, 4 brothers, and parents, Clarence and Lula Smith.
Maxfield is survived by his wife, Beulah “Bea”; several nieces, nephews and his special nephews, Carlisle, whom he called his brother, and Wayne, who took care of him all the way through his trials.
A private burial will take place at the Pleasant Hill Cemetery beside his sister, Artie. Per his request, there will be no service. A memorial service for friends and family will be held at a later date.
The family would like to express a special thank you to the personnel at Genesis in Dunbar and also to Jackie Berry and Sharon Hudson for their care.
I am so heartbroken to hear of Smitty’s passing. He worked as our parking attendant and was such a sweet and genuine person. I used to watch him daily walk back up the road to his house at Kenna homes. Him, his chew in his mouth and his cane. He loved coming out and talking to everyone each day. I got to see him once in the nursing home, and he still had his sense of humor and telling stories. He will be sorely missed and loved.
