Memorial Fund established in honor of J. Ronny Smith A fund has been established with the CopiahLincoln Community College Foundation in memory of J. Ronny Smith, who passed away in August 2019 after a lengthy illness. Smith, who was serving as president of the CoLin Athletic Alumni Association at the time of his passing, was heavily involved with Co-Lin alumni activities. He was a 1966 graduate of Co-Lin where he was a member of the basketball team. He and his wife Carolyn, who is also a 1966 CoLin graduate, were named Mr. and Miss Co-Lin as students. In addition to his church and numerous community organizations, Smith was a member of the Co-Lin Sports Hall of Fame, a lifetime member of the Co-Lin Alumni Association, and was serving as honorary chairman of Co-Lin’s athletic capital campaign, Back the Pack, prior to his passing. The memorial fund is being established by friends and family of Smith to endow a scholarship and assist with improvements to Co-Lin’s athletic facilities. Tax-deductible gifts to the J. Ronny Smith Memorial Fund may be mailed to the Co-Lin Foundation using the enclosed envelope, or made online at www.colin. edu/alumni-foundation.
