On Thursday, August 7th, the Smith family’s world was turned upside down with the sudden passing of their beloved wife and mother, Jen Smith.

Jen was the heart of her family — a devoted wife to Donnie and a loving mother to Katelinn and Makenzie. She was known for her warmth, kindness, and the way she made everyone feel valued and loved. Her unexpected passing has left an unfillable hole in the lives of those who knew her.

The Smith family is navigating unimaginable grief while also facing the practical and financial challenges that come with such a sudden loss. Friends and loved ones have asked how they can help, and we’ve created this GoFundMe as a way to support Donnie, Katelinn, and Makenzie during this difficult time.

Your donations will help cover funeral expenses, household needs, and give the family space to begin adjusting to their “new normal” without the financial strain.

No contribution is too small, and every act of kindness; whether a donation, sharing this page, or keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers, means the world.

Active or Retired Officers from Donnie's Police family can drop off cash or check donations made out to the family at Fop Lodge 89 with 2VP Paul Mazzei. They will be handed over directly to the family.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing by the Smith family in this time of heartbreak.
