Victoria Smith, age 42, of Paris, passed away on November 15, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, strength and joy.
Services are scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19th at Bright-Holland Funeral Home with Rev. Mike Fortenberry officiating. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Wednesday from 1-2 p.m.
Born on August 14, 1983, Victoria devoted her life to caring for others as a dedicated Registered Nurse. She was known not only for her skill and professionalism, but for the warmth she brought into every room. Her patients and colleagues will always remember her gentle presence and the way she made people feel safe and valued.
In her youth, Victoria was a talented softball pitcher, competing with determination and heart. As life went on, her greatest joy became watching her sons, Cutter and Ryder, play baseball. She was their proudest supporter, cheering loudly from the stands and celebrating every moment with them.
Victoria loved to laugh–big, bright, contagious laughter that could lift spirits of everyone around her. Her sense of humor, her resilience and her ability to find joy even in small moments are gifts she shared generously with family and friends.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew her and forever remembered for her kindness, her laughter and the love she poured out to her family and friends. Victoria was a Christian and loved the Lord.
She is preceded in death by her father, John Kramer and step-father Charles Northam. Her grandparents Jim and Dee Anne Preston.
Survivors include her mother, Jeanne Northam; brother, Kyle Kramer and wife Katelyn; her sons, Cutter Smith and Ryder Smith; her aunts, Anna Grant and Karen Preston and her partners in crime, all her cousins.
