Ormand Jane Smith, 90, a long-time resident of Beaumont died Monday, January 22, 2018 in Frisco, Texas. She was born in Thurber, Texas on August 30, 1927 to Emma Kirby and Earl Ragsdale Sykes. She spent her early years in Gainesville, Texas where she received loving attention from her parents, grandparents and aunts. Later, her family moved to Houston where she graduated from Reagan High School. She continued her education at Texas Christian

University and graduated in 1949 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Medical Technology. That same year, while working as a medical technologist in Houston, she met and married John Terry Smith. In 1953, they settled in Beaumont where John Terry Smith began his medical practice. Here they developed life-long friendships. Ormand Jane greatly enjoyed entertaining friends and family at her home in Beaumont and at her farm home in Warren, Texas. She loved singing and playing the piano, doing needlepoint, trying out new recipes, and was always learning something new. The most important events in her life involved family, Calder Baptist Church and friends within the Beaumont medical community.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Dr. John Terry Smith; her daughters, Cynthia Smith Gonzales (Mrs. Tomas Gonzales) of Frisco, Texas and Andrea Smith Glass (Mrs. Cecil R. Glass, III) of Plano, Texas; three grandchildren-- Zachary Robertson Glass, Alexander Morgan Glass, and Miranda Rachel Gonzales—all of Dallas, Texas ; a great granddaughter, Charlotte Reese Glass of Dallas, Texas; and her brother Richard Earl Sykes and sister-in-law Barbara Schuster Sykes of Austin, Texas; and her cousin, Harriet Folsom of Spring, Texas. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Terry Earl Smith.
