Linda Ann Smith went to be with Jesus after a rare and sudden illness on Tuesday, February 25,2020 at Providence Hospital.
Linda was born February 25, 1948 in Waco, Texas to Vernon and Edna Hanson. Linda attended and graduated from Richer Catholic School. She met and married Charles Lennard Smith on November 22, 1969 in Waco, Texas. They remained in the Waco area all their lives where they went on to raise their two beloved children Michael, and Ashley.
Linda worked for
Dr. Stephen L. Mark and Dr. Lance Oberg
for 35 years they all retired and then she went on to enjoy life as a retired
Nana. She will be greatly missed by all of those who had the pleasure of
knowing her. She loved to be out and active and especially enjoyed serving and
caring for others. Linda could rarely be found sitting unless she was drinking
one of her many cups of coffee a day or petting her beloved cat Cosmo. She
loved to play games on her phone when she wasn't busy meeting other's needs.
She was always putting God and her family above anything else.
Linda is preceded in death by her parents Vernon and Edna
(Granzer) Hanson, brother Richard Hanson, and her beloved husband of 42 years
Charles Lennard Smith.
Linda is survived by her two children, Michael Smith and
wife Michelle of Waco, Texas, Ashley Dokey and husband Kris of Hawley, Texas.
Six grandchildren: Matthew and Makayla Smith, Kylee, Katherine, Kenzie and Kori
Dokey.
The Family would like to thank the Doctors and Nurse at Providence Hospital on 3 North and the ICU wings for the care that was provided.
Visitation will be February 27,2020 from 6:00-8:00 PM at Bellmead Funeral Home
