Kenneth Smith 1946-2026

BESSEMER, Pa. — Kenneth Smith, 79, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 9, 2026, at his residence.

A dedicated family man and skilled tradesman, Kenneth will be remembered for his work ethic and his devotion to his loved ones.

Born Oct. 3, 1946, in New Castle, Pa., to the late George and Rebecca Corbin Smith, Kenneth spent his career as a skilled electrician. He lent his talents to several local mainstays, including Falcon Foundry in Lowellville, North Star Steel in Youngstown and Carbon Limestone in Carbon, Pa.

Outside of work, Kenneth was an active member of the Johnson Club and the Croatian Club. He had a passion for classic cars and could often be found at local car shows. An avid sports fan, he never missed a chance to cheer on his favorite teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pirates.

On March 20, 1970, Kenneth married the love of his life, Georgina Diana, with whom he shared 55 years of marriage. While he took pride in his work and hobbies, his greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren.
