of Mabelvale, AR

January 26, 1922 - September 11, 2016

Reba Margaret Ashcraft (Wasson) Smith, 94 of Mabelvale, Arkansas passed away on September 11, 2016. She was born in Monticello, Arkansas on January 26, 1922.

She is preceded in death by Joe Wasson, Sr. and Arthur (Smitty) Smith.

She is also survived by one brother, Richard Ashcraft (Ruth) of Sulphur Rock, Arkansas.

Margaret loved life: fishing, ceramics, sewing, gardening, crafts and spending time with family. She had the knack to accept ANYONE who came through her door and make them ''Family''. Your wings were ready but our hearts were not. SHE IS HOME now, smiling right next to GOD.

What a beautiful woman, Mrs. Wasson-Smith was. I am very sorry to read of your loss. With her accomplishments, her love and joys, she was an amazing woman! I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love, is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is, John 11:25, which says, " Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you and, I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved mother, grandma and friend. Sincerely, Meryl

My sweet Margaret, you will surely be missed. I remember the times our family came to your house many times and you made use feel at home. You are a very special person to me, if you needed to talk to someone no matter what it was she was there for you. She had a heart of gold and everyone loved her. She is in heaven with God having a great time. My prayers are with the family.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Mrs. Smith's family. We've lived near her for over forty years. We didn't get a chance to talk much, but when we did she was always sweet and kind.
