Debrajoe Smith-Beatty, 80, passed away on January 20, 2017 in Mesquite, NV. She was born on August 26, 1936 in Green River, WY to Joseph Franklin Smith and Vera Robinson. She married Bill Beatty, but lived an independent life since 1964.

Debrajoe was raised surrounded by her three siblings and numerous cousins. The "Gang", as she affectionately called them, lived in Green River, WY and Manila, UT. While growing up, Debra played the flute, piano, and sang soprano. After she graduated from Green River High School in 1954, Debra went to study Nursing, and later earned Master’s degree in business. In her spare time, Debra enjoyed painting and writing. She worked with several others to self-publish a compilation of short-stories and poems. She was very proud of her volunteer service with the Community Emergency Response Team. She adored her cat, Babs. Debrajoe often expressed her gratitude for her brothers Ron and Ted Smith, and her cousin Houston Robinson, for always being there for her.

Debrajoe is survived by her son, Douglas E. Beatty (Eileen) of Boise, ID, her four grandchildren, Doug, Cameron, Kirk, Brooke, and her brother, Dr. Ted Smith. Preceded in death by her parents, and her brother Ron Smith and her sister Elizabeth Baxter.

The family will be holding Graveside services at a later date in Huntville, UT. The family invites you to leave a message or memory in their "Guest Book".
