Mary K. Smith

Born August 6, 1955, in Williamsport, she was a daughter of the late Frank Smith and Jennie (Lupacchino) Smith, Caruso (Giuseppe “Joseph”).

Mary attended the former Williamsport Area Community College with a course in Machining. Her strong work ethic led her to a fulfilling career at Textron, where she worked as a clerk until her retirement in 2019.

Outside of her professional life, Mary's greatest love was her family. She cherished every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Mary had a personality that affected many people.  She loved soaking up the sun, floating in her pool, vacationing to the beach, shopping, playing Bingo, and listening to live music, especially Hybrid Ice.

Mary is survived by her five children, John W. Bird, Jr. (Ruby) of Duboistown and their two children Ashley and Nicholas Bird, Mark A. Bird (Deanna Ireland-Bird, deceased) of Williamsport and his daughter Chelsy Bird, Brian E. Bird of Watsontown and his four children Bryce, Cierra, and Zoey Bird, and Mariah Ireland, Nicole L. Oeler of South Williamsport and her three daughters Adelynne, Arianna, and Aubriella Oeler, and Stephanie M. Doebler of South Williamsport and her three children Amyiah and Brecklyn Harrington, and Seryiah Johnson. She also leaves behind four great-grandchildren, Cordell, Amilya, Arayla, and Avaitte. Mary was the beloved sister of Phyllis Rolley of Williamsport, Noreen Smith of Williamsport, John Smith of Williamsport, Carl Smith (Bonna) of Hughesville, Robert "Bubba" Smith of Williamsport, and Joey Caruso of Delaware.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by three siblings, Frank Smith, Gerald Smith, and Anita Smith Guinter.
