Ida Ann Smith, age 81, passed away peacefully on August 4, 2024, at the Grandwood Assisted Living Center. She was born on July 28, 1943, in Houston, Mississippi, to her parents James Longest and Mary 'Cochran' Longest.

 

Throughout her life, Ann created countless memories with her husband Marvin filled with RV travels across the USA, with involvement in the Family Motor Coach Association and Campers on Mission. Her passion for exploring new places and experiencing world travels and different cultures brought immense joy to her heart.

In addition to her successful career and love for travel, Ann enjoyed hobbies like sewing and painting. Her creative spirit shone through in everything she touched.
