Tresa Alice Smith, age 81, of McRae, Ark., passed away on March, 28 2017. She left peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior after living a long, full life. Tresa was born on Oct. 25, 1935, in Coy, Ark., to Earl and Grace Compton. She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Nola McDougal and Louise Smith; and granddaughter, Staci Smith. On Nov. 30, 1956 in Little Rock, Ark., she married the love of her life, J.C. Smith, with whom she celebrated 60 wonderful years.
Surviving are their children, Lonnie Smith of Fairbanks, Alaska, Mark (Kathy) Smith of McRae, and Tammy Merriman of Searcy; grandchildren, April Gessen of Sarasota, Fla., Autumn Montgomery of Searcy, Megan Jones of Beebe, Derek Merriman of Colorado Springs, Colo., Stephen and John Smith of Fairbanks, Alaska, Sarah Garrison of McRae; and six great-grandchildren.
Tresa was a member of Northside Church of Christ, where she attended every time the doors were open. She was respected and loved by many. Tresa thought her greatest legacy was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She lit up the room with her smile and laughter, and there was no comparison when it came to Tresa in the kitchen. Most importantly she lived her life for Christ.
