Mrs. Annie Belle Smith

April 14, 1931 - May 18, 2022

~Annie Belle Smith’s Life~ ECCLESIATES 3:1-2 FOR EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON, A TIME FOR EVERY ACTIVITY UNDER HEAVEN. A TIME TO BE BORN AND A TIME TO DIE. Annie Belle Smith was born April 14, 1931, to the parentage of the late John Henry and Georgia Mae Gantt, in Columbia County, Arkansas. Annie professed a hope and faith in Jesus Christ at an early age and later united with Cedar Grove Baptist Church, where she remained a faithful and loyal member. Annie was united in Holy Matrimony to Charles Smith in 1960. She was employed with Shan-house Inc. for many years, until its closing. Annie was a true lover of nature, and her favorite pass-time was fishing. In her younger years, she was a sharp shooter and some called her “Annie Oakley!” She was never afraid to speak up or take up for others; she was a woman of true courage, who was also not afraid to whip your child for being disobedient or disrespectful. Annie was a loving and kind woman. She deeply loved and cared for her family and friends! PROVERBS 3:24 WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE AFRIAD; YES, YOU WILL LIE DOWN AND YOUR SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. On May 18, 2022, the angel of silence came into Annie’s home in Waldo, AR (Cotton Belt Community) with chilly fingers and sealed her lips. Annie’s soul winged its flight from this world of sin, sorrow, and pain, to a place of eternal rest. She was preceded in death by her parents, a daughter: Georgia (Sadie) Lee Jones, a grandson: Ricardo Rod-Regus Robinson, a brother: Ernest Lambert, a close cousin: L.C. Witt, and a daughter-in-law: Donna Lynn Robinson. Annie leaves to cherish her memories and her legacy of love: Husband: Charles Smith (Waldo, AR). Son: Wallace James Robinson, Sr., (McNeil, AR).
