Patsy J. Smith passed away at home unexpected during her battle with cancer on Dec. 27, 2019.
There will be a visitation from 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 3, at the Silver Creek Mortuary Chapel, located at 745 Papermill Road in Taylor.
Patsy was born in Provo, Utah, on July 8, 1950, to Leslie and Dorothy Jewett. She moved to Henderson, Nev., as a young girl. She attended Basic High School until 1968. Patsy was 17 years old when she met Terry. They married six weeks later and were together for almost 53 years. Patsy was a Girl Scout leader, involved with Eastern Star and Rainbow, and helped coach her daughter’s softball teams.
Patsy and her husband retired and moved to Snowflake in 1998 where they have resided since. Patsy was a devoted wife, loving mother, and the best grandma anyone could ask for. She loved playing bingo on Thursday nights with her best friends, Catherine and Debbie, and setting up all her minions to bring her luck. She was an avid Trump supporter and wasn’t afraid to let anyone know.
Patsy will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. “Later, Alligator!”
She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Terry Smith; her dog, Cody; daughter, Deana (Paul) Marsh; granddaughters, Taylor (Shawn) Murray and Amelya Marsh; grandson, Donley Penny; mother, Dorothy Jewett; brother, Marvin (Linda) Jewett; and sisters, Barbara Jewett and Donna (Wiltson) Bencomo.
She is preceded in death by her father, Leslie Jewett.
Silver Creek Mortuary of Taylor handled the arrangements.
