Allison Carroll Smith, 49, of Huntingtown, MD passed away tragically May 17, 2021.
Allison graduated from Northern High School in 1989 and received a B.A. in Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland in 1994. She began her professional career as a Manager at Footaction. Her sales success there propelled her into several HR/Finance software sales positions, most notably with Workday where she won numerous awards and accolades as top in her field.
Allison was an avid Washington Nationals fan and bobblehead collector. She acquired a love for international travel in recent years with travel to Europe, Vietnam, and India. She was planning a family trip to her favorite place on earth, the US Virgin Islands.
Allison’s defining characteristic was her ability to bring people together. She was the link that held together our extended family and many long-distance friendships. She was a gift to everyone she met and had a talent for making people feel comfortable.
Allison was a devoted mother to her children, beloved daughter and sister, and loyal friend to many.
She is survived by daughter, Mykala Smith and son, Evan Smith of Huntingtown, MD; mother, Maureen Carroll of Owings, MD; sister Rebecca (Craig) Clemens, nephews, Colton and Kyle Clemens, and niece, Alyssa Clemens of Eldersburg, MD; and sister, Jennifer Carroll of Addison, TX.

I just met Allison few weeks ago as we were considering Workday and she was so helpful in bringing all Workday resources to the table to help me and my company going out of the way to help. I am so sorry and shocked. I am keeping Allison and her family in my prayers.

I was very fortunate to have worked with Allison during our time at Workday. She was not only a wonderful colleague, but also a top notch sales professional. I always enjoyed seeing her success, but was never surprised by it one bit. I am a Philly native and avid Phillies fan, so Allison and I always enjoyed some taunts when our teams played. I am so happy that she got to enjoy a Nationals World Series a few years ago as that is an experience every fan deserves! My sincere condolences to her family during this most difficult time.
