Mary "Beth" Herndon, 65, of Byron, Georgia passed away peacefully on Tuesday December 3, 2024, the day of her 42
nd
wedding anniversary. A service to honor her life will be held at a later date.
Beth was born in Perry, Georgia on November 4, 1959, to Mr. Wilson Smith and the late Mrs. Joyce Allred Smith. She is described by her family as a kind and dedicated mother who was famous for her potato salad and love of wolves. In her younger days she was very athletic, she enjoyed playing softball and swimming. She had many passions in life and an eye for detail, she was always on the lookout, collecting coins with errors or spending hours combing the beach for shark teeth. Above all she loved being Nana and Nanny to her beloved grandbabies. She had the courage and wisdom to stand by the words that guided her Live, Laugh, Love. She will be dearly missed by all that had the pleasure to know her.
Left to cherish her memory are her loving husband of 42 years, Wilbur Herndon; sons, Dustin Herndon, Wil (Ashley) Herndon; daughter, Haley (Devin) Loyd; sisters, Kay Lambert, Donna (Andy) Grant, Marlena (Kevin) Muller; grandchildren, Cheyenne, Adrianna, Graesyn, Cooper, Kaegan, Maesyn, Siara; great grandchild, Tadem; and life long friend Marie Meister.
