Dora Grace Frost Smith

2019. She was born to Edgar and Elizabeth Frost on January 13, 1929. Mrs. Smith was a

graduate of Calera High School and Alabama College where she earned a bachelor’s degree in

Vocational Home Economics. She first taught Home Economics in Beatrice, Alabama before

becoming a Clay County Extension Agent through the Auburn University Extension Service

where she worked until her retirement. A world traveler, she often shared her experiences with

family through pictures, home slideshows, and special gifts from places such as The Holy Land,

China, Hawaii, and South America. She enjoyed attending college reunions at what is now

University of Montevallo and church events at Spring Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church where she

was a member. Mrs. Smith was affectionately called “Sis” by her family and friends. The

importance of her family and her desire to document their special times is evident in the vast

amount of pictures that she took of them.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Paul C. Smith; her parents, Edgar and Elizabeth

Frost; her brother, E.G. (Jean) Frost; and her sister, Amelia (James “Tuck”) Lum. She is survived by her sister, Julia (Hal) Wilson; her aunt, Zemma Sproul; her nieces and nephews, Nena (Tom) Sanders,

devoted caregivers.
