Wanda Jean (Vaughn) Smith, age 61 of Hohenwald, passed away on Thursday, March 5, 2020 at Tristar Centennial Hospital in Nashville.

Born April 22, 1958 in Ardmore, Oklahoma to Raymond Levi and Ella Ruth (Ferrell) Vaughn, currently of Murfreesboro.

Wanda was known to be a jack of all trades. She dabbled in many different things including factory work at Siegel's and cement work for the citizens of Hohenwald. She also enjoyed sewing and playing cards in her free time. On beautiful days, she could be found outside working in her flower garden or loving on her favorite dog, Sassy. She also loved softball and played on a team for 1st State Bank of Perry County for many years. She had a heart of gold and would often look after many children in Hohenwald. "There is no telling how many children's lives she has touched during her time here," a family member stated. She lived each moment to the fullest and her love for her family was undeniable.

Along with her parents, she is survived by her son, John (Heather) Smith Jr.; grandchildren, Katelyn Huneryager and Easton Smith; brother, Keith (Jennifer) Vaughn; sisters, Sharon (Charlie) Few and Janice (Scott) Wagner; and several nieces and nephews.

A memorial service was conducted Sunday, March 8 at Adair Funeral and Cremation Services chapel.
