Celebrating the Love and Life of Linda Joan (Denton) Smith

Joan was raised on the family farm 7 3/4 miles south of Anthony and received her early education in a one room schoolhouse. She attended high school in Anthony, graduating from Anthony High School. She was baptized at the First Church of God and also in the river Jordon where her Jesus was baptized.
On March 16, 1956, Joan was united in marriage with Melvin LaVerne Smith. This union was blessed with four daughters, Lindsey, Lisa, Manda and Lorie. They made their home in Anthony, where Joan lived the majority of her life.
