Carl N. Smith

Carl Nathan Smith, 87, of Barnesville, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 14, 2018 at the Cleveland Clinic following a valiant battle with leukemia.

Carl was born October 12, 1930 on the family farm in Adena, OH, son of Albert and Elizabeth Smith. He was a 1948 graduate of Olney Friends School in Barnesville, a Quaker by faith and a longtime member of Stillwater Friends Meeting.

Carl was a man of many talents – most often used to help others! He was a farmer by trade in his early years, followed by Maintenance Director at Olney Friends School where the students were often subjected to his unique but gentle sense of humor! He finished his working years at Livezy True Value Hardware where he enjoyed his interactions with customers.

Carl is preceded in death by his parents; his brother Branson (Joyce) Smith and sisters Margaret (Leon) Harmon and Mabel (Leonard) Gourley; his son-in-law Neal Newlin; and his granddaughter Jessica Caroline Newlin. He will be dearly missed by his loving wife and soulmate of 66 years Dorothy (Starbuck) Smith; his children Sharon Newlin of Stockton, CA, Barb (Dave) Warrington of Hudson, OH, and Gary (Tracy) Smith of Winston-Salem, NC. Grandchildren Brian Newlin, Zach (Courtney) Newlin, Chris (Meredith) Warrington, Susan Warrington, Brittany (DJ) West, and Bradley Smith all cherished their grandpa. Great-grandchildren Jessie and Ellie Newlin and Peter and Kaylee Warrington brought a twinkle to Carl’s eye. Also feeling the loss of Carl is his brother Albert Smith of Stow, OH and sister Kay Smith of Marcola, OR.
