Mrs. Susan C. Womack, age 80, Jonesborough, passed away peacefully Monday, September 14, 2026, at Johnson City Medical Center surrounded by the love of her family. She was a remarkably warm, kind, and thoughtful woman whose sweet soul left an unforgettable mark on everyone who knew her.
Mrs. Womack was born on July 14, 1946, in Johnson City, Tennessee, to the late Eugene B. & Ora Phillips Correll.
Susan was a member of Jonesborough United Methodist Church.
She graduated from Jonesborough High School in 1964, where she was a cheerleader and graduated from Lees-McRae College in 1966.
Susan’s entire world revolved around her family and friends; whom she loved fiercely and unconditionally. Her greatest treasure was being a grandmother. Her grandchildren were her absolute pride and joy, and her face lit up with pure happiness whenever they were near.
Her home was the true heart of her family and cooking was her ultimate love language. She took immense joy in feeding people, ensuring that no one ever left her home hungry. Her selflessness, hospitality, and generous spirit turned ordinary gatherings into cherished memories.
Survivors include her daughter, Betsy Womack Smelcer (Michael), Johnson City; grandchildren, Landon Smelcer and Haydon Smelcer; brother, Don Correll, McClellanville, SC; nephew and nieces, Judith Smith (Kevin) Awendaw, SC, Sam Correll (Amber) Prosper, Texas, and Caroline Gebhardt (Nick), Atlanta, Georgia; great-nephews and nieces, Ellie, Harrison, Anna, Jackson, Lilly, Cole, Leo and Beau; and several cousins.
The family will have a private Celebration of Life Service at a later date.

I was out of town and did not hear of Susan until yesterday. We spent countless hours talking about growing up in Jonesborough. There are way too few of us left to share our memories with. I will miss her warmth, laughter, and stories terribly. She loved and was dedicated to her family and they always were in our conversations. You go, girl!

We are so sorry to hear this. Gary knew Susan when she worked at Lowe's Aluminum. They would talk when he was there to pick up materials for Snowden's Siding, Roofing & Window Co. I knew her thru a mutual friend, Tessa Carey. She and I were facebook friends and we texted now and again. We used to see Don at Lowe's where he worked in Bluffton, SC. We had a home there also and we would see him quite often. Praying for the family. She was so proud of Betsy and her grandchildren. I remember seeing Betsy and remembering how beautiful she is. May God bless you all.

So sorry to hear this news. Have not seen Susan for many years. I remember this group of girls when we lived in Jonesborough on Second Avenue. Seems like yesterday and in another thought, like 100 years ago. Doris and all these girls ran me crazy so I just left. They were a lively bunch, so full of life. Looking back, quite a difference in teenagers then and now.
