1956 – 2014

PORTLAND — On Thursday, May 22, Lynn Carro Smith left this Earth.

Lynn was born on April 22, 1956, to Everett and Joan Carro. She was raised by her father, whom she loved dearly. She graduated from Oxford Hills High School in 1974.

Lynn was happily married to Donald W. Smith. They made their home on Nichol Street in South Paris and were married in their backyard in July 1978.

Lynn opened her home as a child care provider and then became an employee of The Progress Center, receiving many awards for her dedication to those she cared for. Lynn retired from the center to spend time with her beloved Donnie, until his passing in 2004. They shared a love of nature, music and NASCAR racing.

Lynn shared her life with many pets and will be sadly missed by her rescued cats, Psycho and Morty, and her four-legged roommate, Abigail.

Lynn is survived by her siblings, Jenny Edwards of Poland, Chris Saluti and husband, Tom, of Rochester, N.H., Tom Carro and his fiancée, Deb Vines, of Oxford and Joleen George and her fiancé, Bruce Smith, of Oxford. Also surviving are her uncle, Robert Carro, of Oxford; and a very special aunt, Terry Carro, of South Paris, whom Lynn loved and thought the world of. Lynn accepted Don’s daughters and their families as her own, Audrey L’Heureux of Auburn, Rain Smith of Auburn and Katrina Dailey of Harrison. Lynn is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A special thank-you to Nancy Weymouth; Bette and Frank Britton; her neighbor, Phyllis; and Andy and Lisa Deam for the friendship, love and support you gave Lynn over the years.
