Annis "Ann" Smith
Ann Smith was known for her ability to put a smile on people's faces with baked goods and the love she gave them. Her family will miss her greatly and appreciate the wonderful memories of her she leaves with them.
Annis (Ann) Smith, 87, passed away peacefully March 21, 2024, in Ephrata, Wash. She was born Feb. 19, 1937, in Los Angeles, Calif., to Harold and Thelma Hutton.
She graduated from Canoga Park High School in 1955. She married Andrew Smith on Jan. 10, 1958, and together they had four children.
