of Clinton, AR
November 17, 1941 - March 22, 2025
Angela (Angie) Cates Smith, 83, of Clinton went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, March 22, 2025. Born on November 17, 1941 in Marshall, Arkansas to Guy and Lida Cates, she moved to Flint, Michigan as a teenager with her family so her father could earn a living in the auto industry. Her family moved back home within a couple of years and Angie stayed in Michigan to raise her family.
Angie was always a hard-worker. Her passions were real estate and antiques and she worked for a good many years in both. Starting in Flint, Michigan in the early 1970's as a Real Estate Associate, the most advanced role allowed to a woman at the time, Angie never stopped working and advancing until becoming a Broker. In 1978, Angie took a job working the jewelry counter at Woolworth in Flint and within just a year, became the Personnel Manager, in charge of over 150 employees. After moving home to Arkansas in 1987, Angie worked various jobs while providing end-of-life care to her husband during his two-year battle with cancer. She began her work in antiques in the early 1990s, staying active selling real estate and earning top sales awards along the way. Angie worked as long as her body would let her and retired at age 80.
Angie is preceded in death by her beloved son, Steve Logie; her parents, Guy and Lida Cates; her husband of 20 years, John Smith and the father of her children, Richard Logie.
Left to cherish her memory are her sister, Ramona Miller & husband, Robert Miller; daughters, Lori Gilmore & husband, Bill Gilmore and Cindy Dewitt; Granddaughters, Leah Smith and husband, Josh Smith and Cheyanne Miller & partner, Nathan Morton; Great-Grandchildren, Ryan O'Neal & partner, Hope Walker, Natalie O'Neal, Everly Smith, Nora Smith and the much anticipated soon to arrive, Miss Charli Morton and Great-Great Grandson, Nicholas O'Neal.

To my Beautiful, Strong-Willed, Unforgettably Amazing Superstar Friend,
It hurts me so much to see your beautiful picture on an obituary Angie. No, not Angie . . . not MY ANGIE! But alas, it is you.
I am so wonderfully glad to have gotten to spend some time with you a few weeks ago. I knew you weren't well, but I guess somehow I believed the trooper in you would always prevail through any and everything.
I just want you to know how glad I am to have had you in my life. You were, without a doubt, one of the funniest, most enjoyable people I have ever been given the privilege of being around. In appearance, you were this small little lady, but there was no doubt a giant of a soul within. And that is what my Mom and I loved about you: absolutely fearless, determined and perfectly at peace with your opinions. And, we loved your opinions! ;)
It breaks my heart to know I won't be able to pick up the phone and give you a call every now and then. As they say, all good things must come to an end . . . at least, in this life. But, if ever one could be called a true friend Angie, you were the one. Thank you so much for all the wonderful, fun memories . . . and for being you.
Your True Friend . . . Forever, Always, and Beyond,
PS: Tell Uncle John, Grandma Little, Mamaw, Papaw and all the family that I miss them so.

Angie was one of the best friends I ever had. We took several “vacation” trips together through the years, she always said I was one of the few people she could travel with. She gave me my very first job when I started my painting and wallpaper business years ago and I think she was the last person I painted a room for—after I retired. So many memories of her I will always treasure, we shared our life’s up and downs. I spent a day with her in January taking her to doctor and we talked and talked. She will always have a special place in my memories.
