(PORT HURON) — The remains of a 79-year-old homeless woman killed in a hit-and-crash in September have been buried beside her mother in Port Huron. Eleanor Denise Smith was buried Wednesday at a cemetery in the city. Smith died at a hospital. She had identification in her belongings, but without confirmation from a family member, investigators couldn’t positively identify her. A chest X-ray from San Francisco that belonged to Smith was found in late November and there was a positive identification. Smith’s remains were given to a Mount Clemens funeral home in January and cremated. A fundraising campaign was launched in February to bury her with her mother. Michael Kolb, a funeral director who launched the campaign, said a total of $2,880 was raised.
