We regret to announce the passing of Sharon Denise Smith, 74 of Woodward, Okla., on Nov. 4, 2022. Sharon Denise (Elliott) Smith was born Feb. 3, 1948, in Nevada, Mo., to Howard and Lois Elliott. Sharon grew up in Nevada, Mo., and moved to Butler, Mo., her senior year where she graduated high school in 1966. She was united in marriage to Ronald Duvall where they were blessed with a son, Arron Duvall and a daughter, Amee Duvall Oblander. She was later united in marriage to Wilbur Smith on Oct. 11, 1987, where she gained two stepsons, Travis Smith and Monty Smith. They made their home in Nevada, Mo., where they owned Vernon County Meatpackers until their retirement in 2005. In 2014, they moved to Woodward, Okla., where they made their home.

Sharon loved cooking and baking for her family. She also enjoyed reading, cross stitch and working in her flower garden. But her greatest joy was being around her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Sharon passed away surrounded by her loving family at Integris Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City, Okla.

Sharon is survived by her husband of 35 years, Wilbur Smith of the home; a son, Arron Duvall and his two children Sidney and Gage; a daughter, Amee Oblander, her husband Chad and their two children Catelyn and Gavin.

Sharon also is survived by one nephew, Drew Elliott; and one niece, Lindsey Elliott.

Sharon was preceded in death by her father, Howard Elliott; her mother, Lois Elliott; her brother, Michael Elliott; and both of her paternal and maternal grandparents.

Sharon’s wishes were to be cremated and the family will have a private memorial at a later date.
