Jennifer Smith Obituary

SMITH Jennifer Price, 69, of Lexington, went to be with her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, March 21, 2017. Jennifer was born December 15, 1947, in Jenkins, KY, a daughter of the late Roland Porter Price and Nazaretta Hays Price. Prior to moving to Lexington, Jennifer spent her early years in Whitesburg, KY. She was a 1965 graduate of Lafayette High School, received her undergraduate degree from Purdue University, and her Master's and Rank I degrees from Georgetown College. Jennifer was a member of Delta Gamma sorority, Lexington Woman's Club, Thoroughbred Club of America, Calvary Baptist Church and Immanuel Baptist Church. As a schoolteacher for many years, known as Mrs. Stephan, she served as a positive influence to thousands of students and her fellow educators. Jennifer had a gift for seeing exceptionality in everyone and her presence was a blessing to the world. Left behind to mourn her death are her husband, Stewart Arrington Smith; her four children, Candice Stephan (John) Hickey, Robert Elton (Melissa) Stephan III, Kathryn Stephan (John) Soderman, and David Price Stephan; four stepchildren, Nicholas (Tonya) Smith, Ryan Smith, Rodes Smith, and Elle Smith; her brother, David Porter (Beth) Price; her sister Renee Price (Clifton) Smith; twelve grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Visitation will be from 11am to 1pm on Monday, March 27, 2017, with funeral services immediately following, both at Immanuel Baptist Church. Arrangements are with Milward-Broadway. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent to Immanuel Baptist Church, the Salvation Army, or God's Pantry. www.milwardfuneral.com

Jennifer had been an election precinct worker in recent years, and I enjoyed working with her several times at the polls.

Her sense of humor made Jennifer ideal company on those long days, and I always looked forward to seeing her.

My condolences to Jennifer's family, friends, and former students.

Jennifer and I were high school sweet hearts, such a generous, gregarious, caring and joyful person. Although I never moved back to Lexington after college, I often returned to visit my family and friends and feel so very fortunate to staying in touch with this wonderful person. My sincere sympathy to her dear family and many friends.

With love and appreciation,

Many fun laughs and memories with Jennifer. She was the only one that would play "Par 3" golf with me. I believe we hold the distinct honor of being asked to leave from three different courses. Love and miss her a lot.
