Saundra was born on January 19, 1948 to Wilson and Willie (Jewel) Wilhite in Pomona, CA. After Saundra graduated from high school, she graduated from college in San Diego and later attended nursing school, where in January 1987, she became a Registered Nurse, an accomplishment she was extremely proud of. Her nursing career of 35 years included several local hospitals, a RN Case Manager and finally a Utilization Review Nurse for Sedgwick. She was licensed in multiple states. Saundra recently retired from nursing, November 2022.
Saundra was strong willed and a woman of strength, sharp minded and intelligent. She had a wonderful sense of humor, an infectious laugh, as well as a kind and generous heart. For the last 10 years, the love of her life was Gidget, her maltipoo and faithful companion.
Saundra was preceded in death by her parents, Wilson H. and Willie J. Wilhite; and her husband Donald A. Smith. Saundra is survived by her son, Sean Michael Smith and three grandchildren; Stephen, Kaylee and Ellie.
