Pat was a shining example of perseverance and commitment, both in her career and in her family life. Pat’s greatest joy was her family. She adored every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her love was unwavering, and her presence brought warmth and comfort to all who knew her. A devoted servant of the Lord, Pat lived her life in worship and service. For 30 years, she poured truth and love into countless children as a Sunday school teacher. She was a cherished member of Hope Chapel in Olive Branch, MS. Her whole life, she thrived on the love she had for her numerous church family members. Her faith continues to inspire those around her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Wiley Young and Frances Andrews; her siblings Blanche Tackett, Melvie Myrick, JW “Nubbie,” Ollie and Gene Vaughn, Barbara Kidd, and Jerry Young; her husband Bill Smitherman and her son, Billy Gene Smitherman Jr. Pat’s life was a testament to faith, family, and love.
