Help the Smith Family Honor Ingrid Smith's Memory
Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

We are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts to support the Smith family as they navigate the sudden and unexpected loss of their beloved Ingrid Smith. Ingrid was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and a friend to many. She touched countless lives with her fashionable style, loving attitude, and unwavering support.

Our Goal

We are aiming to raise $5,000 to cover the funeral expenses, including the venue, headstone, casket, and other related costs. Ingrid had a vast network of friends and family who cherished her, and we want to ensure that everyone who wishes to attend her service can do so in a fitting and respectful manner.

About Ingrid

Ingrid was the heart and soul of her family. She and her husband, Charles Smith, shared a beautiful marriage of 24 years. Together, they raised eight wonderful children: Mekaelia Smith, Jay Smith, Anastasia Humphrey, Theresa Johnson, Shanice Johnson, and Katalena Smith. Ingrid was also a proud Nana to 23 grandchildren, who all adored her and looked up to her.

Ingrid's life was marked by incredible strength and resilience. She raised her children single-handedly until she met Charles, who became her partner in every sense. Together, they managed Charles' business, with Ingrid handling the finances and keeping the family together. Her love and dedication were the glue that bonded the Smith family.

Ingrid is now reunited with two of her late children, Altamesse Smith and Keith Johnson, who preceded her in death. Their memory lives on through the family Ingrid cherished and nurtured.

The Need

Despite Ingrid's careful planning for the future, her passing occurred within 24 months of taking out her insurance policy, leaving her final expenses uncovered. This unexpected situation has placed a significant financial burden on the family. We are reaching out to you, our extended community, to help us reach our goal and give Ingrid the beautiful farewell she deserves.

A Life Well-Lived

Ingrid's life was a testament to her strength, love, and unwavering dedication to her family. She was known for her remarkable fashion sense, her warm and caring nature, and her ability to connect with people on a deep level. Ingrid's legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren, who continue to embody the values she instilled in them.

How You Can Help

We kindly ask for your support in any way possible. Your donations will go directly towards covering the funeral expenses and ensuring that Ingrid's life is celebrated in a way that honors her memory. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference and bring us closer to our goal.
