Jack and Marie Smedley recently celebrated their 50th anniversary at a reception held by family and friends.

Using a golden anniversary theme, the reception area held an arrangement of pink roses and candles. White lattice panels topped with gold lam? and tiny white lights served as a back drop for the festivities. A free-standing three layer cake, topped with fresh flowers, was the focal point of the table.

Several out-of-town guests attended to extend their best wishes to the couple.

The couple was married April 23, 1955 in Rossville, GA by Rev. Herman Bowman.

Her parents are the late Ova and Lassie Clendenon. Mr. Smedley is the son of the late George and Hazel Smedley.

They have four sons and daughters-in-law, Ricky and Lisa Smedley, Danny and Anna Smedley, Tony and Rose Smedley and Roger and Kimberly Smedley. They also have eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
