NOAH FAMILIES




NOAH Families,

It is with great sadness that I send this email out.

A long time loyal NOAH family, Danny and Stacy Smith, along with their children lost their oldest daughter and sister, Chelsea Nicole Smith. Chelsea passed away after collapsing at home this past Saturday night. The family is still awaiting the final medical examiners report to determine the cause of death.

The Smith family has NOAH roots dating many years back. Stacy has volunteered continuously serving wherever asked. She currently serves on the Basketball Advisory Council and was the past Athletic Director of the NOAH Shooting Team. Her oldest son, Garron was on one of the first NOAH football teams, Kaylee is a current stand out basketball player on the NOAH JV girls team, both Kaden and Grant play NOAH elementary football, where their father assists as he can. In addition, Kaden plays NOAH basketball.

Chelsea was a beautiful, sweet young lady. She served whenever and wherever asked. I grew to know her as she served our football program as a water girl.  I would ask each of you to hold this family up in prayer as they navigate though what must surely be one of the most difficult times in any parents life. God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

In addition to the loss of their daughter, the Smith family is now going through a very difficult financial time as they prepare for the expenses of the funeral. There is  a “Special Contribution Account” set up at the Bank of Oklahoma in memory of Chelsea Smith. Checks can be made out to: “The Chelsea Smith Memorial Fund” and dropped off at any BOK branch or brought to the memorial service to be held soon.  Please pray about the opportunity to give to this family in their time of need and keep them supported with your prayers.

There will be a memorial service in celebration of Chelsea’s life held at New Creation Church in the near future. I will send out information regarding the time and date as soon as it becomes available.

Respectfully,
