Pat built a life of steady work and meaningful accomplishment. She began her career as Secretary for the City of Humboldt, where she served for more than fifteen years.

She was a high school graduate and continued her studies at business school in Jackson, Tennessee, preparing herself for a life of capable and conscientious work. Those who knew Pat also knew the many gifts she carried beyond her career. She was a faithful member of Meridian Baptist Church of Jackson, where her faith was an abiding part of her life. She was an avid reader who found joy in books, and she loved to paint, expressing the artistic talent that so naturally belonged to her. Pat was known for being talented and creative, and she delighted in collecting Snoopy and all of the Peanuts characters, a reflection of the warmth and whimsy she carried with her.

Her family ties were a cherished part of her life. She is survived by her brother, Max Hart; her nephew, Jason Hart; and Grayson Hart. She also leaves behind many beloved friends whose companionship and affection enriched her life and whose memories of her will remain a lasting comfort.

She was preceded in death by her father, Max Hart Sr.; her mother, Lucille Dotson Hart; her husband, Daniel Ervwin Smith, with whom she shared more than 57 years of marriage; and her niece, Stephanie Hart.
