Kristina Carmen (Smith) Zambrana

Kristina Carmen Zambrana of Lamar South Carolina went home to be with her Savior, Jesus Christ, on November 8, 2025 surrounded by her loving family and friends.

Kristina was born on March 3, 1977 (29!) in Florence, South Carolina, to Barbara H. Smith and Robert Arthur Smith. She grew up with a heart for people and a deep love for the Lord.

Kristina was a devoted wife to her husband, Jose, and a loving mother to their daughter, Piper. Together, they built a home rooted in faith, laughter, and love. She served faithfully at Radiate Church where she fervently poured into children's ministry, led life groups, and encouraged and loved others well. She spent her professional life caring for others as a pharmacist, where she served her community with knowledge, patience, and a compassionate heart.

Kristina's faith was evident in everything she did – her joy, her generosity, and her unwavering trust in God's plan. She loved worship music, sunshine, and encouraging others to keep their eyes on Jesus.

Kristina is survived by her husband Jose Zambrana and daughter Piper A. Zambrana; parents Barbara and Robert Arthur Smith; brother Robert (Laura) Smith; nephews and niece Austin Smith, Ryan Smith, Kylie Smith. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and unwavering devotion to those she loved most.
