Ira Willard Smith 
January 20, 1916 - June 27, 2005 
IN LOVING MEMORY 

Ira Willard Smith died peacefully with his family at his side on June 27, 
2005. Willard was born in Clinton, MO, but spent the greater part of his life 
in California where he met and married his beloved wife, Georgia, in 1939. 
Willard served his country in the Army during WWII. After being honorably 
discharged from the service, Willard and Georgia started their family. They 
owned a small country grocery store and then moved to northern California 
where they owned and operated a vineyard and orchard. Later Willard went into 
sales and retired from Kern Wholesale Company in 1978. Willard is survived by 
his wife, Georgia; his sister, Leota Hunt of Butler, MO; and his three sons, 
Martin of Coos Bay, Oregon, Randy of Bakersfield, and Brian of Reno, Nevada; 
five grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews, all 
of whom loved him very much. A private family service will be conducted for 
Willard followed by interment of his ashes at the Union Cemetery. In lieu of 
flowers, the family requests that you make a donation to the charity of your 
choice.
