Ann loved to cook and enjoyed watching you eat. She loved to plant flowers and always made sure to keep a beautiful yard.  Ann loved going to car shows and cruise ins with her son, Mitch and his family.  She has always been a fan of fast vehicles and 18 wheelers.  Ann always enjoyed going to the beauty salon with her cousin, Linda Berry Clark and going to the country club to visit with her friends over lunch.  She loved life and loved her family.  Ann will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Bobby Ray Smith, who was the love of her life; as well as her parents, Harvey Lee and Mabel Berry; brother, Aden Berry and great grandson, Nicolas Ray Munoz.
