David and family. Deepest condolences on Audrey's death. May the many memories you hold dear in your hearts give you comfort during this sad and difficult time.

Prof Smedley was my DST-AAC sorority sister and one of my valued African American history mentors. She was a jewel in my life that will keep shining. I am truly blessed to be in Audrey's circle of friendship and student of this academic scholar that shared and encouraged my interest and dedication about African American history. Thank you Audrey for always being a "LADY" that I will always love and respect.

A beautiful Sorority sister inside and out. I met Soror Smedley 32 years ago while living in Binghamton, NY. She was always sweet, gentle, loving and caring Soror. Our conversations were so pleasant and encouraging. I absolutely loved and adore her. Definitely a bright light has dimmed with her passing. I didn’t realize she was in the Maryland area. Wish I knew as I would of loved to visit. My prayers are with the family during this difficult time. All my love ❤. Rest in Paradise my...

She was my neighbor, my friend, my sister! Her for people was always visible through her bright eyes and smile. I remember spending time together talking about our children. She always told the truth; if you didn't like the truth, too bad. The Howard Family will miss her guidance, voice and smile.

My deepest condolences to the Smedley's family. May you live through all you have inspired and rest well.
