Smith

Mrs. Betty Joan Warrick Smith, age 81, of Pittsburg, passed away on Thursday, Sept. 13, 2018 in Pittsburg. Mrs. Smith was born April 27, 1937 to Barney and Katherine Hilton Warrick in Camp County.

Mrs. Smith was the apple of her husband’s eye for over 61 years, a devoted Christian wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, always shown the love of Jesus thru her gracious smile. Along with her husband, John E. Smith, they ran Smith’s Peaches for forty five years. This is where she began sharing the love of Christ with salvation “checks”. She has handed out thousands of these through the years. She truly loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Smith of Pittsburg; two daughters, Linda Brummell and husband Reggie of Pittsburg, and Lisa Hefner and the late Joe Hefner of Pittsburg; grandchildren, Jessica Davis and husband Matt, Jason Brummell and wife Jessica, Cole Hefner and wife Kerri, Clay Hefner and wife Marlea, Jacob Hefner and wife Tamara, and Jed Hefner and wife RaeLynn; and 21 great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Barney and Katherine Hilton Warrick; son-in-law, Joe Hefner; and a great-grandson, Levi Hefner.
