She leaves to mourn her passing, parents, Bennie Ellis and Sheena C. Sokolowski Smith, sons, Christopher Barker, Michael Alexander Barker, Shelby Maverick Deitemeyer, daughter, Madeline Marcum, brothers, McKinley Edward Smith, Walter Kansas Smith and Cebert Richard Randy Smith, a host of other relatives and friends.
