Obituary

Charlton - George D. Smith, Sr., 79, died Sunday, March 26, 2023 at his home.  

George's beloved wife of 59 years, Mary Jane (Blash) Smith, died September 2, 2022.  He is survived by his sons George D. Smith, Jr., of and Brian K.

Born in Worcester, MA on March 5, 1944, George is the son of the late Elmer and Ida (Shore) Smith.  He was employed by the Norton Company in Worcester for many years.  His proudest "job", however, was being a farmer.  George and Mary Jane also enjoyed raising racing horses.  George was especially proud of his family, and he enjoyed every moment he spent with them.
