Donna Rae Smith, age 67 of Old Fields, WV, passed away Saturday evening, May 16, 2026, at the Grant Memorial Hospital in Petersburg, WV. Born on November 24, 1958, in Cumberland, MD, she was the daughter of the late Jefferson Davis and Margaret Delores Gross Davis. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a sister.

With a heart as warm as her smile, Donna devoted 27 years of her life to Pilgrim’s Pride, where she worked as a supervisor in the poultry processing industry. Recently retired, she filled her days with the things she loved: tending to her beautiful garden, watching the deer wander through her backyard, and getting lost in a good puzzle. Donna was also a gifted seamstress, crafting treasures for her family and friends.

Above all, Donna adored spending time with her grandchildren, showering them with love and affection, and creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

Surviving is her loving husband, Ira William Smith; a son, Jacob (Nancy) Smith of Maysville, WV; a daughter, Rayna (Aaron) Lane of Maysville, WV; brothers, Chuck Davis of Great Falls, MT, Steve Davis and Mark Davis of Cumberland, MD; and seven grandchildren.

A Private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
