Mrs. Janet Goolsby Smith

November 23, 1946 - November 1, 2021

Janet Goolsby Smith Janet Goolsby Smith, a lady of great beauty inside and out, was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi on November 23, 1946. She left the earth on November 1, 2021, in Houston, Texas where she was being treated at M.D. Anderson. Born to Herman and Irma Goolsby, she is survived by her daughter Vickie Smith Schwartz of Atlanta and Hilton Hollis Smith of New York City. She had two grandchildren, Hayden and Ava Schwartz who brought her bountiful joy. Her brother H.L. Goolsby carried a special place in her heart as well as his daughter Leigh Ann and son Mike. Her radiant kind energy and sweet disposition were evident in her work and social life. She worked as a cosmetologist and makeup artist for 30 plus years transforming women to make them feel more confident and beautiful. She cared for her loved ones when sickness affected them and was selfless to the end. Janet loved spending time with her grandchildren and in Central Park with her grand-dog, Rexton. Janet Goolsby Smith will be laid to rest on Saturday, November 6th at 11:00 a.m. at Salem Baptist Church in Carthage Mississippi. Prior to burial there will be a visitation at Wilcox Funeral Home in Carthage from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, November 5th. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made in Janet’s name to The American Cancer Society or your favorite charity.
