Barbara Ann Smith Aldridge, 82, passed away on Sunday, November 8, 2026 at her residence. She was born April 15, 1944, in Morgan County, to Walter Clyde Smith and Ruby Nell Rutherford Smith.
Barbara was a beautiful Godly woman that represented Him well.
She loved her son, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, and great granddaughters, her family members, church family, friends, family, and Buddy with her whole being. They were her world.
She was another mother to so many of her extra children. They called her Mom or “The MomA”, Her love touched so many lives and their lives touched her heart and soul.
She was a living examle of unconditional love. She was full of faith, love, compassion, kindness, and laughter. She was such a blessing to know and love.
Up until 1980, she was a homemkaer and substitute teacher. Her jobs in Customer Service were exactly where she belonged because serving others was part of who she was.
She was the Ultimate Elvis fan!
There will never be another like her! Her legacy lives on in her family. The memories we all have with her will live in our hearts forever.
Preceding her in death were Barry Glenn Aldridge, her parents, and a sister- Joan Tidwell.
