Connie was born on November 3, 1933, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to the late Clifford and Bertha Macdonald. She had a unique career as a jet airplane mechanic with Civil Service and retired from Cherry Point after many faithful years.

She married the love of her life, the late Harry Dean Smith, and together they enjoyed traveling up and down the coast. Cruises were their most favorite traveling experience where they always enjoyed the sun and fun atmosphere. Connie was also a member of the Eastern Star where she enjoyed the fellowship of friends and the mission to help others. Connie was an amazing mother to her family. Her grandchildren, all 27 of them, and her 12 great-grandchildren, were a pure joy to her heart.

She is survived by her children, Steven Smith of Morehead City, Stacey Smith Cloutier and husband Harris of Jacksonville Beach, FL, Dale Smith Foley and husband Don of Houston, TX, Darlene Smith Freeman and husband Jeff of Houston, TX, Linda Smith McKamey and husband Thom of Broad Creek, and Valerie Smith Collins and husband David of Orange Park, Florida; 27 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and 1 on the way.
