Zenola Lynelle Smith was born on September 13, 1971, to her parents, the late Carolyn (Charles) Smith-Cross and the late Ulysee “Bud” Cooper. She was a member of the Class of 1989 at East Laurens High School, and a member of the Lady Falcons Basketball team. Ms. Smith was a graduate of the Oconee Fall Line Technical College where she received a diploma in Criminal Justice. She was employed by Community Service Board of Middle Georgia. She was a faithful member of the Williams Chapel Missionary Baptist Church

Affectionately known as Lynelle, she was a talent in her own rite and she absolutely loved life! She was a master in the kitchen, a trait that she inherited from her mother. She could make anything taste great! She would feed the entire neighborhood and loved watching people eat and enjoy her food. She loved basketball the Falcons of East Laurens High School was her team. Wherever they played, she’d be somewhere in the midst showing those pearly whites adorned with gold. She was called “Ma”, “mom”, or “mama” by her first loves, Conquista and Rondricka. She took her roles and responsibilities as a mother very seriously, and you would know that too if you were ever in conversation about those girls.

Ms. Smith passed away on February 8, 2109. She was preceded in death by her randparents, Georgia Mae Duffle and Christine (Roscoe) Walden.
