Patricia A. Smith, age 76, passed away January 2, 2023.

Beloved wife of the late Lowell Smith.
Proud mother of Sherri Papazoglou and Timothy Smith.
Caring Nana of Rhylee, Bella, and TJ.
Dear sister of Sue (Floyd) Simpson, Robert (Debbie) Doyle, and Gary (Darlene) Neff.

Patricia lived a flourishing and vibrant life with many facets. In her earlier years, she was a Youth Cheer Coach for Harry S. Truman High School in Taylor, MI. She was an avid creative at heart. Patricia hand-made so many kinds of beautiful crafts, from floral arranging to Christmas ornaments.

This creativity extended outside in the way that Patricia decorated her home. She kept an absolutely immaculate yard that featured a blossoming, cultivated garden of flowers. Her greatest love and achievement, however, was her family who she loved dearly. She would take trips all over the world with them, all the while making lifelong stories.

Vacations and cruises to Mexico, Hawaii, and beyond, hold countless cherished memories. Many more summers lazing on the lake and winters riding snowmobiles were spent at the family cottage together; times that can't ever be forgotten.

Donations and contributions in Patricia's honor can be made out to The Alzheimer's Association.

Visitation will be Thursday, January 5 from 2-8PM. Funeral Friday, January 6 at 11AM. All services are located at Howe-Peterson Funeral Home, 9800 Telegraph Rd, Taylor MI. Interment at Huron Valley Cemetery.
