Miriam “Mim” Smith, age 101, of Georgia, formerly of LA County, California, passed away peacefully on September 26, 2022.
Mim was born to the late James and Juliet Mullin on December 12, 1920. She was one of three children and grew up in Alabama. After graduating from high school, Mim traveled to California where she met the love of her life: Ken Smith. The two were married and settled in California. The couple later had two daughters: Julie and Irene "Liz."
Mim enjoyed traveling across the United States, solving crossword puzzles and reading. She also enjoyed sewing, quilting and a glass of scotch. She was very sociable and always maintained a close knit group of friends no matter where she went. Above all, family was most important to Mim and, in her later years, she relocated to be close to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Miriam “Mim” Smith is preceded in death by her parents, James Mullin and Juliet Smith Mullin; brother, Jim Mullin; sister, “Dody” Mullin Whiting; husband of 62 years, Kenneth “Ken” Smith; and son in law, Rick Charles.
