Barbara Lee Smith, 83, passed away on August 18, 2026. Survived by her devoted husband of 64 years, Terry Smith; her two sons, Derrick (Kaycee) and Craig Smith; granddaughters, Samantha DeBee (Daniel), Amanda Pullaro, Ahnahkah Peeples (Paul); and great-grandchildren, Dzinuvi, Akadi, and Delali Nuku, Elliott and Hayden Miller.

Barbara was born to Betty Lee and Robert Lynch on November 14, 1942, in Pueblo, Colo.

Barbara loved her family immensely and gave her full heart to them. She was an unwavering good listener when she was needed most. She was deeply loved and her humor, honesty, unconditional love and acceptance made her an anchor for her family and will be deeply missed.

She adored her devoted husband Terry. Their friendship and marriage was a remarkable gift. She enjoyed working with him as they ran their Ceramic business in Pueblo for many years, Tigs Ceramics and later Clay Smith Ceramics. They enjoyed their trips to Santa Fe, NM where they picked out pottery and art together. She was a long-time member of Beta Sigma Phi devoting her time to community service. Her legacy lives on through her family who
are all better people for having been loved by her.

The family would like to thank Sangre de Cristo Hospice who took such good care of her.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Sangre de Cristo Hospice, 1920 Valley Dr, Pueblo, CO 81008 https://www.sangre.org/ or the Alzheimer’s Association, 1520 N Union Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80909  https://www.alz.org/co in Barbara’s honor.
