Donna Frances Smith Obituary

Donna Frances Smith, 76, of Greenville, passed away on September 12, 2024, after a courageous five-year battle with breast cancer. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, cherished by all who knew her.


Donna is survived by her son Keith Leppla (Jenelle); her daughters Karen Huston (Danny Lay), Maurine Perry (Roger), and Laura LaBoone (Boone); her siblings Ann Rodak, Bill Smith (Laura), and Michael Smith. She leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Ryan Hathaway (Courtney), Tyler Hathaway (Amanda), Sydney Bishop (Jake), Haley Huston (Garrett), Taylor Huston, Hannah Leppla, Kaleb Leppla, and Courtney Friddle, along with great-grandchildren Georgia Hathaway, Hayes Hathaway, Jaxson Bishop, Vera Huston, and Anniston Nisbet. Donna is also remembered fondly by many nieces and nephews.


She was preceded in death by her parents Frances L. and Mary M. Smith, and her brother Peter D. Smith.


A passionate fan of Syracuse basketball and the Atlanta Braves, Donna also enjoyed sewing, reading, and traveling. Above all, her greatest joy was spending time with her family, creating lasting memories.


The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Joanna Grabska and her team, as well as McCall Hospice House, for the exceptional care and support Donna received. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Donna’s memory to Warrior Bags at www.warriorbags.org.


Donna’s life was a testament to the strength of love, resilience, and family.
