Earlene Smith

December 5, 1934 — May 27, 2025

Biloxi, MS

Mrs. Earlene Smith, 90, of Biloxi, MS died Tuesday, May 27, 2025.

Mrs. Smith was born on December 5, 1934, in Rutland, VT to the late Earl and Dorothy Germon. She served 2 years in the US Air Force and was stationed at Keesler AFB where she met her husband of 59 years, Harry Smith. She ended her time in the military to focus on their family, and joined her husband on his assignments until they settled back in Biloxi where she became a copywriter for WLOX TV in the 60’s. With her love of writing and creating, she continued that career working at Keesler AFB in Public Affairs and for the Keesler News. She also enjoyed her time and travels as a member of the International Toastmistress Club in the 70s. After many years of service and cultivating lasting friendships, she retired from Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF).

Mrs. Smith was loving and caring to both her family and friends and will be greatly missed by those who had the opportunity to know her.

Mrs. Smith is preceded in death by her husband, Harry Smith; parents, Earl and Dorothy Germon; stepmother, Carolyn Germon; brother, Bruce Germon; and by her niece, Ila Hughes.

Left to cherish her memories include her son, Michael Smith and wife, Kathy; granddaughter, Valerie Smith; her great-niece, Helena Willis and several other nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank all the nurses and aides at SAAD Healthcare as well as Erica, Sasha, Priscilla, and Gloria at Settlers Cove for the understanding and care they gave to Miss Earlene and her entire family during this time.
