Jean Smith

Norma Jean Smith, of Aiken, passed away on November 10, 2026, at Hitchcock Place in Aiken. She was born on May 7, 1933, in Old Hickory, Tennessee.

Jean retired from the Savannah River Site after 41 years of service, a remarkable milestone that reflected her strong work ethic and enduring sense of responsibility. She was also a member of Millbrook Baptist Church since 1953, and that long and faithful connection remained an important part of her life through the years.

She is survived by her sisters, L. S. Hootman of Aiken and Jannette Halliburton of Texas; a niece and four nephews. May their memories of Jean bring comfort and peace in the days ahead.

Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Lura Brown Smith.

A private interment will take place in Aiken Memorial Gardens.
