Barbara Ann (Smithee) Joslin. Our mom. Our Ma. Our biggest supporter and our most vocal cheerleader. Mom was born in Lenna, OK on Sunday, May 26, 1935, to Vona Juanita (Treat) Smithee and Albert Orn Smithee. She passed away on Sun Read Obituary
So sorry to hear about the loss of Barbara. She was a beautiful lady and a good friend to my mother for 60 years. Our families have been tied together since we first moved across the street from each other out north. Even though I haven’t seen you guys since probably high school, I think about our families often. Prayers to you all.
Headed here with words and then I got here and they vanished. I love you.
My fondest memory of Barbara was when Kenneth and I were in the dining room and kitchen with her. Kenneth and I were preparing to move in together. Barbara began going through her kitchen and pulling out pots and pans for us and telling us her mom had done the same for her when she got married. I don’t remember ever feeling more loved and included. I haven’t seen Barbara in decades, but I will always love her and will be eternally grateful for the love and kindness she always showed me. When I picture her, I just see a radiant smile and twinkling eyes. I’m very confident that she moved on with that same smile and twinkle in her soul as she thought of the amazing legacy she leaves behind.
Mom. . . I love you gobs and skyfulls and way up to God. Kenneth
