Linda 'Diane' Smith

Linda “DIANE” Smith, of Lebanon, PA, (Old Bunker Hill) passed away at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center on 8 June 2010, at 12:27PM of breast cancer. She was only 57 years old, born on 19 September 1952. She resided at 450 South Lancaster St., Lebanon, since 1 October 1985, and opened the area’s first horse boarding stables, named “TRIPLE “S” STABLES & Supplies.” Born in Tennessee, and raised in Kentucky, she was the daughter of the late George and Lena Whitworth Taylor. She met her husband Command Sergeant Major (Retired) Bruce S. Smith stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky in November 1974, and were married 7 June 1975. Her 35th wedding anniversary was 7 June 2010, the day before her death. Diane recently re-opened her craft shop at the residence named “Diane’s Little Shop of Treasures,” but had to close now and then due to her health. She also named her and her husband’s farm “NEE-HI FARM AND KENNEL,” because all the horses and Australian Sheppard’s and other animals are knee high. Her and horse Shashonte, who she really loved, are now back together as a winning Barrel Racing Team. Diane was a qualified Emergency Medical Technician, Life Squad Member, and Medical Director with the Bunker Hill Fire Company. She was a very caring and compassionate lady who always set her goals high and never complained about anything, and was always there for anyone day or night. She will be sadly missed by her husband Bruce, and a multitude of friends. She is survived by her husband CSM(Ret) Bruce S. Smith, a brothers Larry Miller of Kentucky and brother George Taylor of Tennessee; a niece Tara Nicholas of Tennessee and family. Memorial services will be held on Sunday, 13 June 2010, at 4:00 p.m. at the Kreamer & Lum Funeral Home & Crematory, Rt. 72 & Camp Meeting Rd., Jonestown, and also at her home on Saturday, 19 June 2010 at 4:00 pm and it will be a covered dish event to honor her life.
