Born and raised in Kampala, Uganda, Dr. Mayambala came to the United States in 1970 getting degrees at the University of Wisconsin, Michigan State Univeristy, and Indiana State University. After her training, she moved to Stone Mountain, Georgia for several years before her career took her to Dallas, TX.

Another passion of Dr. Mayambala's was teaching. As a professor at Georgia Piedmont Technical College, she loved teaching, tutoring, and mentoring her students. She was known by her students to go to great lengths to make sure they understood the subject matter at hand.
Dr. Mayambala was a devout Catholic member of Christ Our Hope Catholic Church in Lithonia. She was an exceptional mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, daughter, friend, teacher, and co-worker.

Marshall was a very outgoing person. Wherever he went, he addressed everyone by name and could make them laugh. He enjoyed listening to jazz music and played his boombox wherever he went.  He was very influential to the kids in the neighborhood and could make people around him feel special. As he sat on his porch, he would greet everyone passing by, with a warm welcome. Not only did he greet them, but for the children in the neighborhood, Marshall was like a mentor. He would patiently help them fix their bikes and routinely had candy or a snack, stored in the pantry, just for the children when they came knocking at the front door. He will be greatly missed for his kind and loving personality. Arrangements are entrusted to Paradise Mortuary and Cremation Services 463 Atlanta St. Marietta, GA 30060

Jeffrey's Participation at Cascade included singing in the Coming Generation Choir. He was also an active participant in the Youth Ministry, Homeless Ministry, Usher and an Acolyte. He was very proud to be a member of the Boys Scouts of America organization where he learned many valuable life skills. He attended and graduated from the historic Booker T Washington High School in 1988. No doubt Jeff's love for being a member of the Boy Scouts led him to joining the U.S. Army, where he served his county and Private E-1 from the year of November 1988 until the year of August 1992. Jeffrey fulfilled his services as a decorated member of the United States Army by serving in the Gulf War.

His rewards and recognition included an Army Lapel Button, Army Service Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal 1st AWD, Kuwait Liberation Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Overseas Service Ribbon, Southwest Asia Service Medal and two Bronze Service Stars.
After many years of employment in the work force, Jeffrey decided to pursue his dreams of becoming an entrepreneur. To know Jeff was to know he was the constant student-of knowledge and of life. His journey through academia included Atlanta Technical College where he received an associate degree in business management in August 2014. He later enrolled at Clayton State University, where he received his bachelor's degree in applied science in May 2019. his love and eagerness for learning never stopped. Most recently he had begun taking courses at Interactive College of Technology. In life he was indeed the " life of the party." and his laugh was contagious. In contrast he was always willing to debate with you to exhaustion about thoughts he was passionate about, this passion included but was not limited to his zeal for all Atlanta teams (The Falcon, The Braves, and The Hawks). But even in opposition he was always coming from a place of love. This same love was doubled in measure when it came to animals.
Jeffrey leaves, to cherish his loving memories, his loving Father Mr. Matthew A. Smith III, his loving Brother Matthew A. Smith IV (Mary) and Donald J. Smith, his loving Sister Andrea Briscoe, Matricia Williams his Daughter, Nieces Diamond and Saniya Smith, Nephew Jermiah Smith, Aunt Karen Smith, Uncle James Dixon and a host of cousins, family, and friends.
