Mary Beth Smith's Obituary
The Lord lifted Mary Beth Smith (Oswald) of Ashburn in the palm of his hand on December 12, 2021. Mary spread her wings and ascended into the heavenly kingdom, surrounded by loved ones at home.

Born on October 7, 1959 in Arlington, VA; Mary was a loving daughter, caring sister, proud mother, fun aunt, magnificent nana and giving friend. She worked tirelessly as a business data analyst at Peraton.
She was a devoted mother and grandmother.
Mary had many passions and interests. She loved to water ski, crochet and listen to music. Yet, most of all, she loved spending time with family and her beloved granddaughters. She affectionately called them her “nuggets” and loved to attend their many sporting and life events.
