Jennifer Kim Smith

With heavy hearts, we announce that Jennifer Kim Smith, age 50, of Woodbridge, Virginia, passed away peacefully in her sleep at home on August 20, 2025. Jennifer was born in Plattsburgh, New York, and from the very beginning her presence was like sunshine—bright, warm, and full of joy. She was known for her happy spirit, her radiant smile, and the way she made everyone around her feel loved and cherished. She was a 1993 graduate of Central High School in San Angelo, Texas, and went on to earn her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Angelo State University in 1997. She had a deep love for family and adored her husband of 26 years, Jeffrey, and beloved daughter, Allison. She enjoyed birdwatching, beach trips to the Outer Banks, and gardening. She truly loved the beauty found in life’s simple pleasures. Her caring nature extended far beyond her home; as the store manager at Banner's Hallmark Shop, she was endeared by her coworkers and customers alike. Jennifer’s thoughtfulness, kindness, and genuine heart left a lasting impression on everyone she met. A devoted daughter, wife, mother, sister, and friend, Jennifer always put others before herself. She lived each day with compassion and grace, and her ability to brighten a room will forever be remembered. She was loved by many, and her memory will remain a guiding light in the lives of all who knew her. Jennifer Smith was preceded in death by her mother, Okcha Kim Smallcomb. She is survived by her father, Joseph Smallcomb (Belen), husband Jeffrey, daughter Allison, brother Joseph Smallcomb (Erica), sister Patricia Reynolds (Travis) and one nephew. Jennifer’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and generosity. Though her time with us was far too short, her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and community. We take comfort in knowing she is at peace in God’s loving embrace. A service to celebrate Jennifer’s life will be held on Wednesday, August 27th at Miller Funeral Home in Woodbridge, VA. Visitation will be held from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by a memorial service at 12:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations in Jennifer’s memory be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital —a cause she passionately supported. https://www.stjude.org/promotion/impact-giving-pm.html Jennifer will always be remembered as a ray of sunshine—vibrant, loving, and unforgettable.
