Margaret A. Smith

Margaret was born September 4, 1938 in Elmore City, OK to Buddy and Marie (Rankin) Harman. Margaret fought a long hard battle with diabetes and other related health issues---but finally gave in to go home to the Lord on February 1, 2008 Margaret was a devoted wife, mother, nanny and sister. She is loved very much by her family and friends---she will be missed more than she will ever know. Margaret lived most of her life in the Purcell/Lexington area. She worked many years in the food service industry. Later, she became a housemom for Phi Kappa Alpha. Besides cooking for family and her boys at the fraternity, Margaret loved to fish. Whether it was pond-hopping around Elmore City, camping at Elmore City Lake or the Washita River, trips to Bull Shoals in Arkansas, or even all the way to the ocean in Houston, Margaret had a special rod and special bait to hook that big one. Now with her heavenly body she doesn’t need a special rod or bait, she has a golden rod and she is fishing from a golden pond with the rest of her heavenly family. Margaret was preceded in death by her mother in 1981, one husband Curtis Hill, Sr. in 1995, her daddy and sister Juanita Graham in 2000, and her sister Mary Helm in 2006. She is survived by; husband Vernon of Norman, one daughter Delores Smith and husband Raymond of Oklahoma City, two step-sons Bob Smith and wife Sherry of Broken Arrow, Mike Smith and wife Teresa of Oklahoma City, one granddaughter Misty Spencer and husband Brain of Oklahoma City, six step-grandchildren Lynnie Smith of Duran, NC, Jennifer Sims and husband Eddie of Norman, Ryan Smith of Broken Arrow, Sean Smith, Patricia Newman and husband Mike, Richard Smith and wife Jasa all of Oklahoma City, four great-grandchildren Lane, Brooklyn, and Brendan (Bubba) Cline and Trenton Smith, seven step-great-grandchildren Rose, Candis, Kathern, Zeus, Hercules, Jayla, and Leann.
