Sandra Smith was the second child born to Ouida Griffith Pittman and Daniel Nelson Pittman on June 17, 1939 in San Angelo, TX. They lived in multiple states before settling in Midland, TX where she graduated from Midland High School. Sandra attended the University of Houston, graduating with a degree in business. She worked at Exxon in the Houston area. Subsequently she met Philip S. Smith and they married in April, 1963.
When their only child, Gregory Scott Smith, was born, Sandra became a fulltime mother. Later she became a licensed realtor dealing in residential sales. Philip and Sandra traveled extensively. They developed a passion and expertise for Victorian antiques which led to her opening an antique business.
She also pursued various volunteer opportunities. She continued her affiliation with Delta Gamma Sorority as an alumna with the Houston chapter. She did extensive family genealogy research. Other interests included obtaining her pilot’s license and scuba diving certification. She was a gourmet cook and particularly enjoyed hosting family gatherings for the holidays.
Sandra is survived by her loving husband, Philip S. Smith; their son Gregory Scott Smith; their granddaughters Monserrat Sandra Smith and Stephanie Ariana Smith; grandson Brandon Edward Smith; their great-granddaughter Jocelyn Antonio-Smith; her only sibling Nelda Pittman Seiver; and her nieces Vivian Seiver Heinrich and Deborah Seiver Gernentz.
