Marita N. Smith was born October 22, 1933 in Anadarko, Oklahoma to Charles and Evelyn (Britton) Hill. She returned to her natural home February 17, 2017; she was 83 years old. Marita worked as an operator for Southwestern and Mountain Bells before starting a family. She returned to work once her children were grown as a PBX operator for Mercy Hospital where she retired twice. Marita found true joy singing in the choirs at Putnam City and Village Baptist Churches, and working with children in Sunday school and Vacation Bible School. She loved to travel and vacation with her family, but her greatest joy was watching her grandchildren grow. She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Donald D. Smith; three brothers, Charles, Kenneth and David Hill; and two sisters-in-law, Betty and Mildred Hill. She is survived by her daughters, Cynthia Smith of Oklahoma City, Traci Gokey and her husband Val of McLoud; grandchildren, Jill and Sarah Gokey of Oklahoma City, Scott and Annie Gokey of Edmond, Matt Gokey of McLoud and Aaron Smith of McLoud; two sisters-in-law, Ojuieta Simmons of Anadarko and Sandy Hill of Tulsa; and many nieces and nephews. She will be missed beyond words until we see her again. We want to thank Dr. Vicki Canfield and staff, Mercy Hospice, and Bellevue Health and Rehab for all the compassion and support they provided to our loved one and family.
