Marianna (Smith) Lam was born October 6, 1938 in Greenville Ky, was a long-time resident of Central City Ky and has lived in Bowling Green since 1990. “Annie”, as she was known to family, loved life and lived a full one up to the end. She finally retired in 2020 at 81 years old from 15 enjoyable years at the National Corvette Museum. She enjoyed gardening, flowers, bird watching, painting and creating art of all types. Annie loved her family and especially treasured her three grandsons. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Bowling Green.
Marianna was preceded in passing by husband, Jon Edwin Lam; parents, R.C. and Ida Smith; brother, Richard Smith; and sister, Margaret Askew. She is survived by a brother, Wendell Smith (Mary) of Bowling Green; sons, Jon (Pamela) Lam and James Douglas “Doug” (Shelly) Lam of Fishers Indiana; and three grandsons, Gavin, Alex, and Ben Lam.
Marianna will be interred at Rose Hill Cemetery in Central City. A celebration of Annie’s life will be held at a later date. The family asks that any expressions of sympathy be in the form of a donation to Hospice of Southern Kentucky. J.C. Kirby & Son Funeral Chapels has been entrusted with arrangements.
