Noretta Clarice Dukes George Smith passed away on Saturday, August 28. Noretta was born on November 24, 1925, in Fort White, Florida Columbia County along with her twin sister, Ovedia. She was married to Simon Maurice George, and later, Raymond Carl Smith. She put on a valiant battle to live. She was born from humble beginnings. The daughter of sharecroppers. The last of her 9 siblings. She believed in God and followed the scriptures. A great cook. So many more things could say about her. I believe that she would consider her most important contribution in life was the loving bond with ALL her family. Survived by her daughter, Patsy Bryant.
