Posted on: Dec 31, 2017

David Edwards Smith, born January 25, 1930, died peacefully on September 3 at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, surrounded by family. After enlisting and serving in the Navy as an Aviaft on Photographer Airman he graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Business Administration. He then worked for the Wolverine Shoe Company in Atlanta, where he met the love of his life, Katheryne Hacker Doughty, who he married in 1954. They enjoyed sixty wonderful years together until her death in 2015. David earned his J.D. from the UT College of Law . He first practiced as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office. David then became a partner in Hodges, Doughty and Carson, where he practiced until his retirement. He was a member and former deacon of Sequoyah Hills Presbyterian Church and he enjoyed gardening and all types of water sports. His friends and former colleagues all tell stories of his humor and playfulness. David is survived by his daughter, Cecilia Smith Petersen; his son, John Reed Smith (Sharon); his grandchildren: Katheryne Cohen (Ramsey), Laura Lambert, Cecilia Hill (Aaron), David Alexander Townsend, Katheryne Cole Townsend, Suzannah Lee Smith, Giovanna Stramiello, and Carolina Smith; nephews Ley Holly Smith and Daniel David Smith and several great nieces and nephews.
