Payten McKenzie Smith Obituary
We are sad to announce that on January 23, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Payten McKenzie Smith of Floris, Iowa. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Payten McKenzie Smith to show support.
As we bid Payten McKenzie farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Payten McKenzie is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her stepfather John Wright. She is survived by: her parents, Todd Hughes (Denise) and Stephanie Day Wright (Darrin Gillett); her husband Ryne Smith of Floris, IA; her sons, Emmet and Kade Smith; and her sisters, Maddisen Hughes and Alexa Gassner (Klaus).
Memorial contributions in her honor may be directed to the Payten Smith Memorial Fund to be used for her children's education and can be mailed c/o Cranston Family Funeral Home, P.O. Box 189, Fairfield, IA 52556.
