She was a 1987 graduate of Brooks High School and studied at UNA and Wallace State. She worked as an X-ray technician at Shoals Hospital. Trulisa was unselfish and an inspiration to many people. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, she gave hope to others in their suffering. Growing up with Truitt and her cousins made her tough and able to withstand anything. She considered Blaine and Brittany her "babies."
She was preceded in death by her father, Rayburn Smith; maternal grandparents, Matthew and Mable Russell; paternal grandparents, Logan and Eathel Smith.
Survivors include mother, Barbara J. Smith, of Florence; brother, Truitt Smith (Tammy), of Florence; nephew, Blaine Smith; niece, Brittany Smith; aunts and uncles.
Special thanks to her family, friend and special doctor, Lyman Mitchell.
