Marguerite and Matthew Smith

Marguerite Smith’s mother, Marguerite B. Joyner, was a hardworking and motivated person in all that she did. She graduated from UNC with a BA in English in 1951 and later became a Real Estate broker and entrepreneur. She also broke ground as the first woman on the Vestry at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church. She always strove to educate herself and those around her as well as give back to her community and church. What better way to honor her than to help others achieve their educational goals. “I hope that in utilizing this scholarship, the recipient will also think about ways to give back when it is their turn.”
