CAROLYN DEE SMITH, 52, of McLean, Virginia, passed away on February 14, 2020, at the home of her sister, Louise Wood, with her niece, Sarah Hampton, by her side. She was born on November 29, 1967, in Spencer, the daughter of the late Glen Ray and Emma Lou Prunty Smith.

She was a former CRA Compliance Manager/Director at Capitol One Bank, a former Compliance and CRA Officer at City Holding Company and a former Associate National Bank Examiner at the Office of the Controller of the Currency. In addition to her exceptional mind, Carolyn had a deep compassion for others and often went beyond the expected to help those in need. She was the picture of perseverance and strength during her ten-year battle with cancer.
