Our Hero Deseray J. Smith
Deseray was born February 3, 1990 in Huntingdon, PA. She was a great daughter, loving sister, best friend, United States Marine, and an organ, tissue, and retina donor. Her favorite season of the year was autumn.
Her decision to be an organ donor saved four lives with her donation of organs, tissue, and her retinas to give sight to the blind. She gave the gift of life to four complete strangers, and the gift of sight to another two complete strangers.
Deseray loved her family and friends deeply. She graduated from Tyrone High School in 2008, where she was part of the woman's soccer team. She loved her dog Max and everyone's pets as well. She liked to bake and cook for her family and friends. She was aspiring to be a professional wrestler and sports trainer; she wanted to to help everyone get in their best shape possible.
Her passions will be missed by everyone she knew, but her legacy lives on through her generous organ donations, as she continued to give of herself in death as she did in life. We will always love and miss her. Semper Fi.
