Anna Lee Smith

With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, who left us cherished memories to hold forever. She entered her eternal home on June 27, 2026.

Born in Liberal, Kansas on September 25, 1933 to Frank and Leeannah Reynolds, she later moved to Indiana where she met the love of her life, Estel, at Carmen’s Drive In. The two were united in marriage in Muncie, IN on January 1, 1954, beginning a beautiful journey of family and devotion that spanned over seven decades.

She was a dedicated mother to her three children: Sandra (Jerry) Heck, Gail (Cheryl) Smith, and Timothy (Sharon) Smith. Her legacy of love continued to grow through her grandchildren, Brooke, Tyler, Whitney, Laura, and Hannah, as well as her five great-grandchildren, Liam, Grayson, Oliver, Tate, and Tucker, all of whom brought immense joy to her life. She was also loved by her three remaining siblings, Jewel, Deloris, and Frank Jr.

She will be remembered for her effortless style and her love for shopping, always bringing a touch of class and elegance to every occasion. She loved Jesus, and the family is thankful for the promise they will see her again some sweet day. Anna was a member of Bethel United Baptist Church in Muncie.

A graveside service to celebrate her life and lay her to rest will be held on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at 1:00 in the afternoon at Elm Ridge Cemetery in Muncie.
