JoAnn Johnson Smith, 87, of Spanish Fork, Utah, passed away peacefully on October 7, 2025. Born on September 12, 1938, in Red Lodge, Montana, JoAnn lived a life full of dedication, love, and service to others.
JoAnn devoted over 30 years of her life working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), a role through which she touched many lives with her compassion and care. She also worked for Continental Airlines and later as a medical assistant, always finding ways to serve those around her with warmth and professionalism.
A woman of many talents, JoAnn found joy in her garden year-round, carefully tending to her flower beds with love. She was also an accomplished seamstress and quilt maker, pouring creativity and skill into every stitch. Above all, she cherished time with her family—especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who lovingly called her “Grammer” and “GG.”
JoAnn joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the age of 21, and her faith remained an important part of her life ever since.
She is survived by her daughter Stephanie Huff (Lamar), her son Jeff Smith, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. She leaves behind a legacy of love, service, and devotion to her family and community.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, October 10, 2025, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM at Walker Funeral Home in Spanish Fork, Utah. A graveside memorial will follow at 1:00 PM at the Spanish Fork Cemetery.
JoAnn will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
