DAVID CARLTON SMEDLEY, SR.

The Lord called David Carlton Smedley, Sr., age of 79, to His heavenly home on Tuesday, July 27, 2021.   David had been a resident of Wildwood, GA for over 50 years and for 57 years married to the love of his life, Wanda Henson Smedley.    He was of the Baptist faith and had been employed as a carpenter with Carpenters Local Union #74.  David was born on October 4, 1941 to the late, Charles David Smedley and Rhoda Virginia Jones Smedley.

He is preceded in death by his parents; Charles David Smedley and Rhoda Virginia Jones Smedley and sister, Sandra Prince.

David leaves his years of memories to his wife, Wanda Henson Smedley; son, David (Cheryl) Smedley Jr.; sisters, Peggy (Ronnie) Morris and Theresa Thomas; granddaughter, Sarah (Josh) Smedley Hahn; great-grandchildren, Kohl and Samuel Hahn along with several nieces, nephews and treasured friends.

He was a  loving and sweet husband, father, grandfather, brother and good hearted person.  David assisted anyone that needed help.   He was a man that you never saw without a smile on his face and a heart so big that he never met a stranger.   David enjoyed the outdoors, mowing on his John Deere mower and gardening.   His love of God's nature was very humbling to the man he had been.
