Our beloved Ann K. Smith left this world at 76 to be with her Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ, on June 17th, 2025. She was born in Lamar, Colorado in 1949, and grew up in the areas of Campo and Springfield, Colorado. Here was always "home" to her, and she was proud to be a student of both schools, graduating from Springfield in 1967; A Warrior and a Longhorn at heart, always. She had several life long, loving and cherished friendships from those Baca County days.

Ann was a woman of great faith, and a kind and loving granddaughter, daughter, wife, mother, aunt, cousin, grandmother and friend. She always supported her family in every endeavor, and did so with a cheerful spirit. Her heart also bent for those who were in need or hurting.

To her, her greatest accomplishments were the success and happiness of her family. She is deeply loved by each and every one of them, as well as by many friends she has made along life's journey.

Ann enjoyed her Caregivers Group and Bible Study Group, as well as spending time with her family (especially her grand and great grandkids). Ann will be greatly missed, and the love for her will live on in each of our hearts, always.
