Leta C. Smith, 85, passed away May 12, 2023.
Our Mom was a sweet, loving, caring mom. We were so blessed to have her as our mom, grandma and gg. She loved nature, gardening and just being outdoors with her family.
Leta was very independent, yet soft spoken and ready to help any way she could. She grew up on a farm with her parents Lewis and Olive (Rand) Barnes, sister Betty and brothers Ralph and Paul. At 18, she Leta left the farm and moved to the city where she worked as a secretary. At 21, she married and had her fist child at 23, Jeff, her second child at 27, Jana and her third child at 29, Tom. Leta worked for the IRS and sold Supplemental Insurance for over 40 years. Leta loved the Kansas City Royals and shopping for bargains at Thrift Stores and garage sales.
