Genevieve Newell Smith, 86, of Arnoldsburg, West Virginia, went home to be with
her Lord and Savior on April 27, 2022, at Camden Clark Medical Center after a
short illness.

Genevieve was born on November 17, 1935, at Nicut, Calhoun County, West
Virginia, the daughter of the late Claude and Mabel Edgell Newell. In addition to
her parents, she was preceded in death by her late husband, Emmons Smith in
2012.

Genevieve is survived by her son, Randal (Kandas) Smith of Millstone and
daughter, Shelley (Joe) Lynch of Arnoldsburg; four grandchildren, Nicholas and
Makayla Smith of Millstone and Trevor and Reagan Lynch of Arnoldsburg; and one
sister Joyce Arnold of Vienna.

She was a 1953 graduate of Calhoun County High School and attended Capital City
Commercial College in Charleston in 1954. She was employed by Jefferson
Standard Life Insurance Co. and Rubber Fabricators in Grantsville. She later
received her AB degree in teaching from Glenville State College in 1959.
Genevieve began her teaching career in a one-room school at Lower Nicut and
then at Beech Grove. She later taught at Minnora Grade School and finished her
teaching career at Arnoldsburg Elementary School. She had a total of 35 years of
teaching service.

spending time with her grandchildren.
