Hilda Smith

Donalds – Hilda Jane Hanks Smith, 79, widow of Wilborn L. “PeeWee” Smith, of 1002 Winona Church Road, died Saturday, September 05, 2020 at Self Regional Hospital.

Born in Anderson County, she was a daughter of the late Raymond and Janie Lou Wright Hanks. She was a member of Winona Baptist Church. She was small in stature, but had a humble spirit big enough to make up for it. She was employed by Bi-Lo in Honea Path where she made many lifetime friends. Two that especially remained close in her heart were Myrtice McClain and Betty McAlister. Special memories were made with her sister-in-law Martha Stone and niece Jackie Stone.

Mrs. Smith is survived by two sons: Gary and Jamie Smith of Donalds; three grandchildren: Donielle Smith; Cody Fields and wife Allison, and Megan Hutchinson and husband Will; two great-grandchildren: Calli and Elloree Fields; and a special nephew: Kenneth Robinson.

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by a son: Wilborn Rodney “Pole Cat” Smith, a sister: Susan Robinson, and a niece: Karen Frank.

Private family services will be held, with Rev. Bruce Cooley and Rev. Curtis Marshall officiating. Burial will follow at the Winona Baptist Church Cemetery. Mrs. Smith will be available for viewing on Tuesday from 11:00 – 2:00 at Pruitt Funeral Home.
