Nancy was known for pioneering girls’ youth soccer at Seminole Soccer Club. She loved her career as an interior decorator and designer in the Greater Orlando Area that spanned over 30 years. It has been said many times that she brought a light and laughter to a room and was always up for an adventure. She was a second mom to many and provided a safe, fun, and comfortable home to all who entered. She loved spending quality time with her children, grandchildren, friends, and family.
Nancy is survived by her daughter, Robin Smith Russell, of Plantation, FL. Her son, John R. Smith, III, resides in Davidson, NC with wife, Katie, and their two children: Angela and Alex. Her daughter, Tracie Smith Sanger, resides in Knoxville, TN with her husband, George Sanger, Sr. and their two children: George Jr. and Mary Ellen. Her son, Jeffery Smith, resides in Longwood, FL with his wife, Monique, and their three children: Julian, Jordan, and Charlotte. Nancy is also survived by her sister, Sherry Carroll Young, of Conyers, GA. She will be missed dearly.
