This is the address, in case you need it. On January 13, 1920, in the county of Dekalb in the state of Georgia, Mrs. Bates was brought into this world by her parents, Howard E. Smith and Margaret Laura McAfee Smith. Her birth took place in the state of Georgia. Her grandfather on her father’s side was also given the name Howard E. Smith. Her beginnings may be traced all the way back to the state of Georgia, which is where she was born.
She had spent a significant amount of time working as a procurement analyst for the Federal Government-DGSC in Richmond, Virginia before she ultimately came to the conclusion that she wanted to retire earlier than she had planned from her position there. The reason she did this was so that she could have more quality time with her family. Both her son John Dana Bates and her brother Howard Eugene Smith passed away before she did.
She was the last surviving member of her family. She was the only member of her family to have lived to an old age. She was the only member of her family to have reached an advanced age and she was the only one who did. She was the only member of her family to have lived to a ripe old age, and she was also the only one who accomplished this feat.
Because her death occurred before either of theirs, they had both already departed from this world by the time it took place. Her sons Jay Christopher Bates and his wife, Ruth Ann, of Chester, Virginia, and Bill Bates and his wife, Beth Bunce, of Lexington, North Carolina, along with her daughter-in-law, Diann Bates of Richmond, Virginia, and her grandchildren Patrick Eugene Bates and Brian Christopher Bates, both of Richmond, Virginia, Taylor Christine Bates of Conyers, Georgia, Grayson Bates and Taylor Dare Bates, both of Lexington, North Carolina, and John Christopher Bates also survive.
