It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dodie Marie Smith (Mann) who left us on July 26th, 2024 at the age of 52. Dodie was known for her artistic spirit, her caring nature, and her fun personality. She had a great talent for cooking. Her love for the outdoors and creative pursuits brought joy to everyone around her. Dodie will be remembered for her warmth, her passions, and the countless ways she touched the hearts of those she loved.
She was a loving mother to daughter, Alanah Guigou. A special grandma to her grandson, Rowen Ruffin (her Yoda). A loved daughter by her surviving father Cecile Mann Jr. and her late mother Peggy Sturkie-Mann. A sister to her big bother, David (Brian) Mann. The family is having a private celebration of life.
“Together forever never apart; maybe in distance never in heart” I love you momma.
