Her grandchildren: Tonia Sherrard (Tom), Travis

Luetta was born on June 16, 1935 in Havelock, New

thirteen children. She is survived by sisters; Grace
Branscombe, Margaret Van Til, Lottie Forsythe, and one brother, Ivan

first husband, Raymond Steeves and second husband, Jerry Smith; her

Luetta was a member of Five Points Baptist Church
and the Salisbury Seniors Club, and attended both as long as she was
able. Dedicated to raising her family, she enjoyed her role
as a homemaker. Her manner was always kind and encouraging
and her positive spirit made her pleasant to be around. She
would drop anything if she was needed by someone and was never too
busy to help others.
She was loved by many and will be missed by
family, as well as Donna, a close family friend, and others who knew
her and enjoyed her company.
Arrangements are in the care of Salisbury Funeral
Home with a Celebration of life Thursday, May 26 at 6 p.m. followed by
a reception. Interment will follow at the Five Points
Cemetery.

made to the Five Points Church Cemetery Fund or charity of
choice.
