Junie Lee Smart was born September 4, 1955, in Birmingham, AL, to Roby and Katherine (Kurz) Black. She grew up in Alabama, moving to Minnesota in 1981. She was married to Tom Smart in 1985, and they later divorced. She raised her family in Annandale.
Junie's passion for creativity and love for her grandchildren and cats brought her joy.

Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those she touched. May she rest in peace.
She is survived by her sons, Darrell Elliott (Elizabeth Hardin) of Sartell and Matt (Katie) Smart of Clearwater; step-daughter, Tara (Matt) Claborn; grandchildren, Jeffrey, Keara, Ariana, Alana, Andy, and Keegan; step-grandson, Logan; siblings, Linda (Harvey) Olson, Kathy (Dennis) Smith, Pat (Mike) Mears, and JoAnn (Mike) Henson.
