Marien Jane Smith, 88, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 22, 2020 after a short battle with coronavirus.  Born in 1932, Jane was raised in Elmira, New York and lived in San Francisco, California; Arlington, Virginia; and Frankford, Delaware before returning to live in Arlington and later, Leesburg, Virginia after the death of her husband, the late John "Jack" W. Smith.  She had a profound love of watercolors and her cat, Bella.  For many years, she painted extensively and sold her paintings at local art festivals, including two paintings purchased by a U.S. Representative to Congress.

She is also survived by four grandchildren—Logan and Addison Borakove, T.J. Corwin, Jeannie Halstead, and Evelyn and Laurie Cahlik—and three great grandchildren.
