Ann Smith passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, in Mansfield, Texas. She was born on October 14, 1960, in Bloomington, Illinois.

Ann will be remembered as a devoted homemaker and caretaker who gave her heart fully to the people around her. She was kind, generous, loving, and welcoming, and was cherished as a wonderful wife and mother. To those who knew her, Ann carried herself with grace and warmth. She was truly “a lady” in every sense, with a gentle spirit and a love for beauty, including her favorite color, pink.

Her faith was a central part of her life. Ann was very faithful and devoted, participating in Bible study at Buel Baptist. She also served in other church choirs before finding her church home a Buel Baptist. She found joy in worship, fellowship, and living out her faith in daily life.

Ann loved life. She also enjoyed the simple and meaningful pleasures of life. She collected dolls, loved camping and being outdoors, and especially treasured spending time with her family. She was also a breast cancer and melanoma survivor, and her strength through those battles reflected the courage and perseverance that marked her life. Ann’s life was one of love, faith, resilience, and devotion.

She was preceded in death by her father, Stan Minegar; mother, Geri Minegar; brother, Donald Mark Minegar; mother-in-love, Lena Smith, and grandma, Lucille Stembridge.
