Theodore Smith Obituary
THEODORE "SMITTY" SMITH
October 22, 1936 March 13, 2019
It is with great sadness that the family of CMSGT Theodore Smith, age 82, announces his entrance into eternal life, at home in Colorado Springs, Colorado on Wednesday, March 13, 2019. He was born to the parents of John and Jessie Smith in Greenwood, South Carolina, October 22, 1936. He grew up with nine siblings.
Ted served in the U.S. Air Force for thirty years, and another ten years in Civil Service, as a drug and alcohol counselor. Ted will be forever remembered for his ability to make everyone laugh, and his infamous dance moves, the "Mule Skinner". Ted loved being a social butterfly, and called everyone he met, "partner". He had an infectious smile, and according to the ladies, "Smokey Robinson" eyes.
Ted believed in celebrating life not death, so per his request, no funeral services will be held. Donations to brain cancer research can be sent to, The American Brain Tumor Association, 8550 W. Bryan Mawr Avenue, Ste 550, Chicago, IL, 60631 or by visiting their web-site at [email protected].
Theodore is preceded in death by his parents, John and Jessie; his siblings, James, John and Mattie. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 55 years, Fannie D. Smith; his son Craig; his beautiful daughter's, Hamelle and Tedra; his brothers, Ben (Mary), Frank (Barbra), JB (Brenda), Tyrone (Val); and his sisters, Jessie Rogers, Wilhelmina Williams; and many other relatives.
