Alice Faye Almand Smitherman was born in Waxahachie, Texas, to Arthur and Lillie Mae Almand on March 10, 1952. She grew up and graduated High School in Lancaster, Texas.
Alice married James Thomas (Tommy) Smitherman May 6, 1971, in Lancaster, Texas. Together they raised 3 children.
They moved to Dallas, then Mesquite, and settled in Payne Springs, Texas, where they retired and enjoyed life at home and spent much of their time watching their grandchildren grow.
Alice had a background in printing and taught herself to use a computer and graphic design software. This passion led to researching her family history, restoring old photographs, and taking family pictures and videos to capture memories and milestones of her family.
Alice became a Christian and was baptized as a teenager. Her faith in Jesus was an important part of her life and it gave her comfort knowing that her children and grandchildren shared her faith and will join her in Heaven one day.
Alice was preceded in death by her parents, her two sons, James Robert Smitherman and Jeffrey Michael Smitherman, her brother Wesley Almand, and her sisters Virginia Applin, Sandra Borden, and Doris Crow.
