Patricia Dean Smith was born January 10, 1943 in Dallas, Texas and passed from this life on October 5, 2026 in Midlothian, Texas.

Pat had a love for reading, crossword puzzles, and game shows, often calling out the answers before the contestants could. She never missed an opportunity to cheer on her children and grandchildren and was always interested in the things that brought them joy. She proudly worked for the County Tax Office for 25 years, serving at three different locations before retiring. She also enjoyed participating in the activities of her Explorer Group at First Baptist Church of Midlothian. A talented crocheter, she loved making blankets and washcloths to give as gifts to others. Above all, though, she treasured spending time with her family. Her greatest joy was being surrounded by the people she loved.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Reuben and Faye Worley.

Pat is survived by her beloved husband, Daniel Smith; her children, Mickey Smith and wife Bambi, Monty Smith, Charles Smith and wife Tara; her grandchildren, Cody Smith, Corbin Smith, Trey Gattin, Kaden Smith, Preslee Smith, Ty Smith, Jake Smith, Shad Muth, Mallory Muth, Karsyn Muth, Millie Muth, Jamison Miller, Sydney Miller, John Miller, Deacon Miller, Blaine Miller, and Hank Miller; and her brother, Charles Worley and wife Janie.

Family will receive friends from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Thursday, October 8, 2026 at Byrum Funeral Home Chapel in Lancaster. A celebration of Pat's life will be at 10:00am on Friday, October 9, 2026 at First Baptist Church of Midlothian.
