Lowell Dean Smith of Senoia, Georgia passed away Sunday, July 3, 2016.
Born to Albert L. Smith and Eolyne M. Smith (née Veal) of Goat Town, Georgia, “Dean” spent his life as a carpenter and a mechanic. The third of four children, he grew up playing baseball and passing time in his grandfather’s country store.
Dean married Lilla Jan Bowers in 1987, whom he met while working for Atlantic Southeast Airlines. He then became a transplant to Coweta County, Georgia, where he spent the remainder of his life. Dean became a member of White Oak ARP Church in Senoia, Georgia, taking pride in serving as a deacon as well as serving the community with his many trade skills.
A lover of aviation, Dean enjoyed nearly 20 years working at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta. He performed all things maintenance for vehicles at the airport, ultimately becoming a supervisor and manager. The skills learned there translated to spending many hours in his “shop,” which he built himself, of course. The shop was full of activity, and saw Dean working on things for whomever needed it.
Dean is survived by his wife Jan of 29 years; children, Zach (Amanda) Smith of Columbia, SC, Ethan Smith of Newnan; grandchildren, Thomas and Samuel Smith of Columbia, SC; siblings, Denise (Terry) Smith Sternisha of Fayetteville, Gerald (Lesa) Smith of Louisville, Dale Smith of Sandersville; nieces and nephew, Kristi (Chris) Smith Kevbren of Sandersville, Adam (Heather) Smith of Stone Mountain, Becky (Daniel) Smith Summy of Aveva, and Brittany Smith of Louisville; parents-in-law, Lisle and June Bowers of Senoia. He is also remembered by his many friends in the Goat Town and Senoia communities.
The funeral service is Saturday, July 9, 2016 at 11 a.m. at White Oak ARP church with a visitation from 10 a.m. until service time Saturday at the church. Burial will follow the service at the White Oak ARP church cemetery.
