Cynthia Annette Smith

Cynthia Annette (Crafton) Smith, born on October 6, 1956, at The Jackson Clinic in Dickson, Tennessee, passed from this life to the next on January 15, 2025. 

The daughter of Walter H. Crafton and the late Anne L. Crafton, Cynthia spent her childhood traveling across the United States as the daughter of a serviceman. She had a special passion for her family and friends, especially her grandchildren.
