Misty Dawn Smith, age 35, passed away peacefully while sleeping Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at her residence in Houston, Texas. She is so deeply loved and will be forever missed by her family and friends. Misty's beautiful smile and big laugh were unmistakable and infectious. You couldn't help but laugh along with her. She naturally focused on the good in others, and cared for people deeply, known by all for her generous and empathetic nature. She loved her vast and varied community of friends and acquaintances, embracing diversity, respecting other's religious beliefs, social background, race, and cultural uniqueness.
Misty graduated from Westfield High School (Houston, TX) in 1995 and became a full-time parent. She was passionate about helping others and in 2009 went back to school accumulating credit in the health care field. In 2011, she graduated from The Texas School of Business as a Medical Assistant and pursued a career in pediatric health care. Misty's love for children was eclipsed only by her love for her family.
Misty is survived by her beloved daughter Brianna Janae Smith; mother Terri Lynn DeMontrond and step-father Lea DeMontrond; father Roger Smith and step-mother Norma Smith; sister Evelyn Smith and husband; brother Thomas Heath Miller and wife Karen; as well as her grandmother Rose Marie Garlin. Additional surviving family members include her aunt Gloria Mifflin and husband Harry Mifflin; aunt Mary Jean Hibler and husband David Hibler; cousins Michael Mifflin and wife Kelly; Rebecca Schatte and husband Weston; Marshall Hibler and Marvin Hibler.
A celebration of Misty’s life will be held at 2:00 PM, Thursday, August 9, 2012 in the Chapel of Forest Park The Woodlands Funeral Home.
