Mrs. Smith was born March 20, 1910, in Liberty. She was a 
homemaker and a member okf the Colbert 75A Church of Christ. 

Maw will be remembered by her family and friends as a lady who 
loved to visit. She treasured her talks with the children. Her 
beautiful smile was a natural gem that drew them to her. One of 
her favorite moments was handing out candy to the little ones at 
church. She was proud of every chance she had to share her love 
for the Lord. Her hands were God's instruments of love, whether 
holding a newborn grandchild or carrying out household chores and 
working in the garden. One of her greatest joys was getting in 
her car and driving to church. 

Mrs. Smith was preceded in death by her husbands, Alvin 
Blankenship and Dime Smith; an infant son; step-son, Troy Smith; 
parents; brother, Jack Walton; sisters, Nova Tucker and Ida 
Ricks; and great-grandsons, Shawn Thompson and Kolton Stubbs. 

Family hour will be 7-8 p.m. today at Coffey Funeral Home, 
Durant. 

Burial will be in Kemp Cemetery.
