Where Heritage and Life are celebrated.

Allison Carroll Smith

September 12, 1971- May 17, 2021

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. Allison was predeceased by her father Douglas Carroll in 2012. She was previously married to Justin W. Smith.

Please join us for a visitation Sunday afternoon May 23, 2021, between 2:00 p.m. — 4:00 p.m. and to celebrate her life Monday, May 24, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at Rausch Funeral Home, 8325 Mt Harmony Ln, Owings, MD.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to the charity where Allison volunteered, Project Echo, benefitting the homeless of Calvert County: https://projectecho.net/donate/

    We extend our deepest condolences to Evan, Mykayla, Maureen, Justin and Allison’s Carroll and Smith family. We have had the honor of knowing Allison and her family since Evan and our son were infants. As it happens with parents, your children and their activities tend to choose your friends. I will be forever grateful to our boys for bringing Allison’s light into our world and all of the memories made together. Her picture and tribute capture the essence of Allison inside and out. In the midst of the demands of daily life and motherhood, Allison was always the one that made sure our close knit group of friends got together. She made time for what is truly important and fulfilling in life, worked and played hard, was fiercely protective of her family and friends, an advocate for anyone that needed one, and always managed to find the humor in most situations. We will continue to hold you in our thoughts and hearts, cherish our continued friendship, gather in her honor, and be comforted by knowing that a little of Allison’s light glows in all that knew her.

    To Allison’s family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I worked with Allison in our McLean, VA office for the last 6 years. While I hadn’t seen Allison in over a year (due to Covid), we kept in touch over email/phone. She and I would be in the office regularly, and share stories about our children, DC sports and Caribbean travel. When I think of Allison, I think of someone who was warm, caring, fun to be around and always smiling. I’m so sorry for your loss – she will be missed.

    We are just devastated by the loss of Allison. My heart goes out to Maureen, Mykala, Evan, Jen, Becky, and all the rest of the big extended Carroll family. Allison’s smile lit up every room. I will cherish the times I got to spend with her and the family in Ocean City, at Nationals games, and at Spring Training in FL, especially when Allison got a whole restaurant up dancing to Motown tunes with her. She was so full of life and so warm and friendly. Our condolences to the whole family.

    Hey Allison, BA, Queen of cheese!
    Since the first time that I met you and forevermore. Everyone I ever meet will experience you. Forgive me because I’m not ready to let you go. I may never manage to do that. You gave me life. You taught me love and managed to make me love. Not just the love people say but one of safety respect and patience. You are hands down, the person that formed this person and everyone you you touched. You know that my love for all those close will go on. The patience and understanding that you sowed in me will be the most important thing I ever carry forward. We will make it to Easter Island I promise. I’m happy you know how much you were loved. I love you and always will. So so much. Olive and Otis know. They know about mykayla and Evan too. I’m sorry we never got to do our thing, but I hope they meet all the same. You are and always will be my guiding light, my anchor, my friend and so much more. Love you BA, you’re just the best. I’m sorry my words aren’t enough. Oh my gosh that smile. I promise, I totally promise I will be here for you and yours. And I hope to see the album you promised to show me and give the album of us to the people who are part of who you are. Thank you for the best times of my life. Your little me, Umar.
    Kisses, MMA!

    Words can’t describe how sorry I am to your entire family. I was lucky enough to work with Allison for years at Workday and at SAP, I would have hired her at any company I could if she let me! She was simply the best, not just a great salesperson, she was such an amazing person, who as others have noted, brought people together with her welcoming personality and genuine caring nature. But she didn’t take any crap either! This made her the best. Everyone wanted to work with Al and it was one of my proudest moments seeing her flourish in her career. Know she was an ever greater Mom, Daughter, Sister, Friend and more. Family was everything to her. My deepest condolences as I know how big she was in all of your lives.

    My heartfelt condolences to Allison’s family, especially her children who she adored. I had the pleasure of meeting Allison when she came up to Boston to attend Workday meetings and again in Newport, RI for a team event. I will most remember Allison as someone who connected people – when she reached out over this last year to stay in touch, she decided to create a happy hour event to include others who might feel disconnected while we worked from home….2 or 3 people on a Zoom call turned into 10 and then 15 because she was such a beautiful and welcoming person. She will be missed. Her family and friends are in our prayers.

I enjoyed a really special friendship with Allison over these last few years that grew from co-workers to two hard working moms sharing stories and laughs and catch up calls whenever we had time. Allison I will always remember you with love and affection. To Allison’s 2 children and family, please accept my deepest sympathy and may you take some small comfort in knowing she was loved by so many. My prayers for strength during this awful time.

    Smile! When I think of her I can see her smiling , her smile could light up a room. The picture chosen perfectly displays Allison’s personality and couldn’t make me more proud to call her a great friend. I was blessed to meet Allison when our boys started kindergarten and attended not only school together but daycare as well. Our family hung our together with a small group and most often Allison was the one that arranged the outings. My heart breaks thinking of her family and the pain they are feeling. Big hugs to the Carroll and Smith family! My heart is truly broken. 💔 I love you Allison.

    To the Smith and Carroll family, our deepest condolences from Sharon, Bill and Nick. We first met Allison at Good Shepherd Church when we would both take Evan and Nick to the toddler room. What a blessing it was to learn that Evan and Nick were in the same daycare and that brought us together for almost 16 years. Her spirit, willingness to help, positive outlook and joyous smile was inspiring. Just like our boys are the “OGs”, you will forever be our OG. Miss and love you.

    and the rest of the Carroll and Smith Clemens and extended family and friends. Finding it very hard to process this news. I met Allison in 5th grade and that began a life long friendship. When I was pregnant with my oldest daughter her mom, Allison, Becky and Jen planned a baby shower for me. When Nicole was baptized I asked Allison to be her godmother. I also remember when she planned a reunion at her house for Laurie me and her years after high school. Allison was such a warm, beautiful person. She brought joy to people’s life wherever she went. My heart goes out to her whole family. So many cherished memories. Will always love and miss you,

    Mykala, Evan, Maureen and Family,
    My sincerest sympathies ~ Allison held a very special place in my heart. We met each other through our daughters, Mykala and Kerianne – over 15 years ago and immediately, and a friendship blossomed between us. She was like a 2nd mom to Kerianne and that has always touched my heart so much. She was always so warm and welcoming; her smile and positive energy were radiant. Some time would pass before we chatted again, but we always picked up where we left off – as if no time had passed at all. Conversation was always so easy and genuine. Sweet Allison ~ you deeply touched my heart and soul each and every time we were together or chatted on the phone. I’m so thankful for your friendship and love. May we all carry on your beautiful charisma and charm. I’ve always found music to be a healing energy. This song by Kenny Chesney will always remind me of you –
    “Your spirit will live here forever, The sea will echo your gypsy soul, You will always bring us together, this much I know.
    Oh, your smile was as big as this island, You could drown in your eyes of blue, You were friend of a friend and someone, I’m glad I knew. I’ll always see you dancing, up there on the bow, Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now.
    And you’ll live with us as long as, memories stay alive, And you left us with so many, Kristi…
    I hope time can be our healer, maybe time can be a friend, Still I’m a strong believer, someday we’ll see you again.
    Where the sun is on our faces and the wind is at our back, Sailing south to our favorite places, where the water’s calm and flat. ‘Til then we’ll always see you dancing, up there on the bow, Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now,
    And you’ll live with us as long as, memories stay alive. And you left us with so many, Kristi…
    Our circle of friends, we’re sad that you’re gone, We celebrate your life with stories and a song. Somehow you will keep us strong. And we’ll always see you dancing, up there on the bow, Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now
    And you’ll live with us as long as, memories stay alive, And you left us with so many, Kristi…”
    ~ Hugs and love to each of you.

    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.

    We extend our deepest condolences to Evan, Mykayla, Maureen, Justin and Allison’s Carroll and Smith family. We have had the honor of knowing Allison and her family since Evan and our son were infants. As it happens with parents, your children and their activities tend to choose your friends. I will be forever grateful to our boys for bringing Allison’s light into our world and all of the memories made together. Her picture and tribute capture the essence of Allison inside and out. In the midst of the demands of daily life and motherhood, Allison was always the one that made sure our close knit group of friends got together. She made time for what is truly important and fulfilling in life, worked and played hard, was fiercely protective of her family and friends, an advocate for anyone that needed one, and always managed to find the humor in most situations. We will continue to hold you in our thoughts and hearts, cherish our continued friendship, gather in her honor, and be comforted by knowing that a little of Allison’s light glows in all that knew her.

    To Allison’s family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I worked with Allison in our McLean, VA office for the last 6 years. While I hadn’t seen Allison in over a year (due to Covid), we kept in touch over email/phone. She and I would be in the office regularly, and share stories about our children, DC sports and Caribbean travel. When I think of Allison, I think of someone who was warm, caring, fun to be around and always smiling. I’m so sorry for your loss – she will be missed.

I will cherish the times I got to spend with her and the family in Ocean City, at Nationals games, and at Spring Training in FL, especially when Allison got a whole restaurant up dancing to Motown tunes with her. She was so full of life and so warm and friendly. Our condolences to the whole family.

    Hey Allison, BA, Queen of cheese!
    Since the first time that I met you and forevermore. Everyone I ever meet will experience you. Forgive me because I’m not ready to let you go. I may never manage to do that. You gave me life. You taught me love and managed to make me love. Not just the love people say but one of safety respect and patience. You are hands down, the person that formed this person and everyone you you touched. You know that my love for all those close will go on. The patience and understanding that you sowed in me will be the most important thing I ever carry forward. We will make it to Easter Island I promise. I’m happy you know how much you were loved. I love you and always will. So so much. Olive and Otis know. They know about mykayla and Evan too. I’m sorry we never got to do our thing, but I hope they meet all the same. You are and always will be my guiding light, my anchor, my friend and so much more. Love you BA, you’re just the best. I’m sorry my words aren’t enough. Oh my gosh that smile. I promise, I totally promise I will be here for you and yours. And I hope to see the album you promised to show me and give the album of us to the people who are part of who you are. Thank you for the best times of my life. Your little me, Umar.
    Kisses, MMA!

    Words can’t describe how sorry I am to your entire family. I was lucky enough to work with Allison for years at Workday and at SAP, I would have hired her at any company I could if she let me! She was simply the best, not just a great salesperson, she was such an amazing person, who as others have noted, brought people together with her welcoming personality and genuine caring nature. But she didn’t take any crap either! This made her the best. Everyone wanted to work with Al and it was one of my proudest moments seeing her flourish in her career. Know she was an ever greater Mom, Daughter, Sister, Friend and more. Family was everything to her. My deepest condolences as I know how big she was in all of your lives.

    My heartfelt condolences to Allison’s family, especially her children who she adored. I had the pleasure of meeting Allison when she came up to Boston to attend Workday meetings and again in Newport, RI for a team event. I will most remember Allison as someone who connected people – when she reached out over this last year to stay in touch, she decided to create a happy hour event to include others who might feel disconnected while we worked from home….2 or 3 people on a Zoom call turned into 10 and then 15 because she was such a beautiful and welcoming person. She will be missed. Her family and friends are in our prayers.

Allison I will always remember you with love and affection.

    Smile! When I think of her I can see her smiling , her smile could light up a room. The picture chosen perfectly displays Allison’s personality and couldn’t make me more proud to call her a great friend. I was blessed to meet Allison when our boys started kindergarten and attended not only school together but daycare as well. Our family hung our together with a small group and most often Allison was the one that arranged the outings. My heart breaks thinking of her family and the pain they are feeling. Big hugs to the Carroll and Smith family! My heart is truly broken. 💔 I love you Allison.

    To the Smith and Carroll family, our deepest condolences from Sharon, Bill and Nick. We first met Allison at Good Shepherd Church when we would both take Evan and Nick to the toddler room. What a blessing it was to learn that Evan and Nick were in the same daycare and that brought us together for almost 16 years. Her spirit, willingness to help, positive outlook and joyous smile was inspiring. Just like our boys are the “OGs”, you will forever be our OG. Miss and love you.

    and the rest of the Carroll and Smith Clemens and extended family and friends. Finding it very hard to process this news. I met Allison in 5th grade and that began a life long friendship. When I was pregnant with my oldest daughter her mom, Allison, Becky and Jen planned a baby shower for me. When Nicole was baptized I asked Allison to be her godmother. I also remember when she planned a reunion at her house for Laurie me and her years after high school. Allison was such a warm, beautiful person. She brought joy to people’s life wherever she went. My heart goes out to her whole family. So many cherished memories. Will always love and miss you,

    Mykala, Evan, Maureen and Family,
    My sincerest sympathies ~ Allison held a very special place in my heart. We met each other through our daughters, Mykala and Kerianne – over 15 years ago and immediately, and a friendship blossomed between us. She was like a 2nd mom to Kerianne and that has always touched my heart so much. She was always so warm and welcoming; her smile and positive energy were radiant. Some time would pass before we chatted again, but we always picked up where we left off – as if no time had passed at all. Conversation was always so easy and genuine. Sweet Allison ~ you deeply touched my heart and soul each and every time we were together or chatted on the phone. I’m so thankful for your friendship and love. May we all carry on your beautiful charisma and charm. I’ve always found music to be a healing energy. This song by Kenny Chesney will always remind me of you –
    “Your spirit will live here forever, The sea will echo your gypsy soul, You will always bring us together, this much I know.
    Oh, your smile was as big as this island, You could drown in your eyes of blue, You were friend of a friend and someone, I’m glad I knew. I’ll always see you dancing, up there on the bow, Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now.
    And you’ll live with us as long as, memories stay alive, And you left us with so many, Kristi…
    I hope time can be our healer, maybe time can be a friend, Still I’m a strong believer, someday we’ll see you again.
    Where the sun is on our faces and the wind is at our back, Sailing south to our favorite places, where the water’s calm and flat. ‘Til then we’ll always see you dancing, up there on the bow, Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now,
    And you’ll live with us as long as, memories stay alive. And you left us with so many, Kristi…
    Our circle of friends, we’re sad that you’re gone, We celebrate your life with stories and a song. Somehow you will keep us strong. And we’ll always see you dancing, up there on the bow, Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now
    And you’ll live with us as long as, memories stay alive, And you left us with so many, Kristi…”
    ~ Hugs and love to each of you.

    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.
