Chief Magistrate Charles Blackwell said Mrs. Smith was a credit to her profession.
"She did it according to the book and that is what it takes in this," he said. "She served this county with dignity and she was also a very attentive person; she listened to the people. She was undoubtedly one of the finest people I have ever met and one of the finest to work with. I never called on her for a favor that she wasn't willing to do it. That's really called working together."

She was a loving mother and grandmother.
