She was born on January 2, 1929, in Des Moines, IA, a daughter of Herbert Eugene Evans and Margaret Lee (Brown) Evans. She was raised in Shaker Heights, OH and graduated from Smith College in 1951. She married P. Kingsley Smith on November 17, 1951. They moved to Towson, MD in 1956, where he was a priest at Trinity Episcopal Church, and where they spent the rest of their lives.
Her life was full of laughter, art and her beloved dogs. She loved hiking at her camp in the Adirondacks and playing the piano.

Her love of animals and keen interest in health led her to adopt a predominantly vegan lifestyle the last thirty years of her life.
