Patricia A. Smith

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Patricia Ann Smith, who left us on April 9th, 2025. A cherished mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and confidante. Patricia touched the lives of everyone she met with kindness, grace, and love. She was born in Toledo, Ohio on November 24, 1951 to the union of Booker T. & Willie Mae Smith. She was preceded in death by her parents; grandparents, St. Clair & Beatrice Reams, and sisters, Erma L. Curry & Alma Lee Smith.

In early life, Patricia attended Job Core and pursued a career in data entry. She went on to work for Job and Family services, where she became a supervisor and was blessed to retire young. In her spare time, she loved to bowl, play solitaire, sew & knit, garden, and spoil her family with gifts from her numerous shopping trips.

Later in life, Patricia gave her life to Christ at The Garden of Prayer Church. She enjoyed Pastor Anthony Smith’s sermons every Sunday and loved worshipping God with her family.

Patricia leaves to cherish her memory her lifetime companion, Bobby Howard; children, Willie B. Jones, Diana Lawson, Ernestine Germani, Jacqueline Smith, and Joe Smith; siblings, Shelia Smith, Kevin Smith, Mackaline Weatherly, and Marian Gales; seven grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and a host of other loving family and friends.

The family will receive guests Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 11:00 am - 12:00 pm at Garden of Prayer Church 1612 Ottawa Drive, Toledo, OH 43606. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 12:00 pm at the church.
