Angela Smith Marchbanks

Angela Smith Marchbanks was born August 1, 1956, in Millington, TN. She departed this life on September 21, 2024, in Jackson, TN, at the age of 68. 

For 35 dedicated years, Angela served as a Medical Office Assistant to Dr. Bob Routon, surgeon in Humboldt. Her commitment to her career exemplified her compassionate nature, always striving to make each patient's experience comfortable and caring. Beyond her professional life, Angela was known for her joyous personality and her devotion to her family. She was a remarkable wife, mother, and grandmother. 

 Angela's beloved husband, Ricky Marchbanks, shared a deep bond with her through the years, supporting each other in life’s journeys. Together, they raised three wonderful children: Joseph “Brady” Denton and his wife Rebecca, Melanie Thornton and her husband Jonathan, and Abby Lenard and her husband Jim. Angela took immense joy in her role as a grandmother, cherishing every moment with her grandchildren: Garrett Wallace, Colin England, Gavin Thornton, Celina Thompson, Anna Denton, Bella Lenard, Reid Lenard, and eagerly awaited the arrival of Bryce Denton, due to be born on October 12. Each grandchild held a special place in her heart, and she reveled in every laugh and story they shared. 

 Beyond family life, Angela had a passion for reading, often losing herself in the pages of her favorite books. She found peace and adventure in literature, a reflection of her inquisitive mind and love for learning. 

 Angela is also survived by her brother, Corban Thomas Smith, and her cherished dog, Daisy, who will miss her companionship deeply. 

 She joins her parents Eldred Corbin Smith and Biddie Joyce Roby and her dear brother, Paul Alan (Skip) Smith, in eternal rest, leaving behind a legacy of love, warmth, and kindness. 

 Visitation for Angela will be held at Browns Church in Jackson on September 25, 2024, from 1:00 PM until 3:00 PM, followed by the funeral service at 3:00 PM.
