Obituary:
We rejoice that our beloved wife, mother, sister, and aunt, Scottie Asbury Smith, was called home by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on November 4, 2020, at the age of 67 but forever 39. Scottie Asbury Smith was born on November 5, 1952, in San Antonio, TX to Edgar Allen Asbury, Jr., and Idabell Rogers Asbury. She is a descendant of Jesse Chisholm of the famous Chisholm Trail and a proud tribal member of the Chickasaw Nation. The family relocated to Dallas, TX in 1953.

Her partner in crime was her younger sister, Cindi Asbury Sanchez. When their parents were out, license, or no license, they would “borrow” their mom’s car. Also, they’re “knockdown drag outs” were epic. They liked shopping, playing games, and just enjoyed being together. Their war stories included the “joys” of raising kids and husbands.

She attended F.P. Calliet Elementary School, E.H. Cary Junior High School, and Thomas Jefferson High School all in Dallas. She was a cheerleader at E.H. Cary Junior High and on the drill team at her beloved TJ. She was very active in the high school choir participating in school musicals. She was part of the 1971 graduating class, where she served as the class secretary. She also attended North Texas State University where she made a lifelong friend Dianne Berg. She then pursued her passion for interior design at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio.

She married Keith Smith on April 4, 1987, in San Antonio, TX. They resided there until 1994 when they relocated to Plano, TX.

She remained very close to her high school classmates over the years. She mostly enjoyed her girl’s trips with her high school friends known as the Junk Gypsies: Cathy Freeman, Shannon McKinley, Patti Hill, Debbie Jarma, Stef Cobb, and Laura Buchanan. One of the highlights of her year would be their yearly girl’s trip which started in 1985. Her favorite trip was to Palm Springs, CA. She also cherished the times everyone would gather around the piano to sing and share laughter.

She was a devoted soccer mom to Jordan and Andy from 4 years old to college. Her favorite place to be was on the sideline cheering on both kids whether they were on the field or Jordan coaching at Plano Senior High School.

Scottie was very creative, artistic, and loved musical theater. Her love for the arts and music led her to be one of the biggest Barbara Streisand fans. She loved live entertainment, TV, movies and she never missed an episode of Gilmore Girls.

She is preceded in death by her parents Edgar Allen Asbury Jr., Idabell Rogers Asbury, and Jessie Sue Rogers (grandmother). She is survived by husband Keith Smith, daughter Jordan Smith, son Andy Smith (Plano, Texas), sister Cindi Asbury Sanchez, brother-in-law Sonny E. A. Sanchez (Edmond, OK), niece Erin Sanchez and nephew Sonny Sanchez (Oklahoma City, OK).

01/25/2005Per Will Giddens...I Wasn't Called Till Saturday Morning And Informed Of Cindy's Death Out Of Consideration To My Own Condition. My Family Was Also Afraid I Couldn't Make It There In Time. They Know I'd Have Tried To Break The Sound Barrier Getting There Too. hehe Bear With Me Cause I'd Like To Describe Cindy's Death As It Was Described To Me:(Excuse Some Of The Spelling As I'll Have Tears As I Type) The First Hour Of The Last Hour And A Half Of Cindy's Life Was Pure Hell. She Had A Downright Knock Down Drag Out Fight With An Imaginary Character. Swinging Her Arms, Kicking Her Legs, Trying To Wrestle Her Way Loose And Out Of The Bed. Telling Them, "I'm NOT Ready!", "I Can't Go Now, I'm NOT Going!" My Bro In Law Said He Was "Beside Himself". He Called Paramedics And My Parents When He Had A Moment To Do So. Other Than That He Spent The Hour By Cindy's Side Trying Desperately To Help Her With Pain Meds As She Was Also In A Great Deal Of Pain. He Was Unsuccessful With The Meds Due To The Wrestling Match Cindy Seemed To Be Having. The Paramedics Still Hadn't Arrived When My Parents Arrived For The Last 30+Minutes Of That Hour And The End. Mom Said She Fought To Stay Alive With Everything She Had Left In Her But That At 9p Everything Calmed Down. My BIL Said It Was As If God Or Jesus Had Arrived In The Room. Everything Was Calm. Cindy Was Resting Easy. Then At 9:20, Cindy Raised Her Arms To The Ceiling, Raised Her Torso Up With Her Head Cocked Back Passing What Was Described As A Death Girgle(sp?). With That, Her Soul Passed From Her Body As She Fell Back Into The Bed. My BIL Said That As The Coroner Prepared To Wheel Her Body From The House, He Could Swear He Could See Cindy Smiling...I'm Guessing That Her Struggle With Her Relationship With God Had Been Settled And She Could Finally Be At Peace.  We We're A LOT Alike In That We Never Give Up. That Comes From A God Blessed Rearing That He Gave Our Parents To Pass On To Us Kids. Cindy Would Have Never Given Up On Me. I Never Gave Up On Her. The Fruits Of That Rearing Paid Off Well Too. Cindy's In No Pain And I'm Without Any Doubt That She's By God's Side.Cindy And I Were 10 Months Apart In Age. She Was My Play-Pal As We Grew Up. I Imagine A Lot Of Brothers And Sisters Are Like That. I'll Miss Her For A Long Time And I'll Continue To Love Her Dearly. Will Giddens Sindy Lester Lemons (Cindy Louise Giddens)Nov. 27 '52 - Jan. 21 '05

Jeri Elaine Hodges   |   Visit Guest Book Hodges, Jeri Elaine The school children of Texas and educational technology have lost a strong advocate. On Thursday, December 8th, Jeri Elaine Hodges passed away after a long battle with Cancer. She was born January 17, 1954, in El Dorado, Arkansas. She attended Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas and Texas Tech University where she graduated with a degree in education. She holds masters degrees from Texas Woman's University and East Texas State University. Jeri began her career with the Dallas Independent School District as a special education early childhood teacher at W.W. Bushman Elementary School in Oak Cliff. Jeri was then promoted to resource teacher and, at that time, realized very early on the potential for the utilization of computers in education. She then embarked on a 15-year career to integrate technology and the teaching capabilities utilizing computers into the entire education process throughout Texas. In the early 1970's Jeri realized the potential for utilizing computers in the education of children. She began to formulate visions and initiatives, which integrated technology as a strong and limitless teaching tool. As she formulated those ideas, she began to rise through the ranks of the Dallas Independent School District to the point where she held the position of Executive Director of Instructional Technology from 1992-2000. As the Education Technology Specialist, she designed a district-wide program for the integration of technology into special education classrooms. The program was recognized as a first recipient of the National School Boards Association "Innovative Uses of Technology in Education" award in 1990. In 1986 she launched the Special Technology Advisory Committee, which was a one-of-a-kind initiative, which brought special educational personnel from various instruction disciplines to receive training in computer basics, utilization of software, and this program became an unprecedented element for teachers in the state of Texas. Her journey in education moved to the Texas Education Agency as the Technology Consultant and Grand Administrator on projects such as the Technology Applications Teacher Network (TATN, 2000-2010), the Technology Immersion Pilot (TIP, 2002-2008) and Vision 2020 (2008-2010). She really loved this work and was a champion for technology grants in rural and disadvantaged districts. As an early visionary of educational technology she took tremendous pride in being present for the rollout of laptop and technology grants. She would travel to the far reaches of Texas to make sure children were given every advantage. She would come home so fulfilled by the expressions of kids entrusted with their first computer. The visionary became witness to the vision. As a lover of the outdoors, Jeri became very involved in the construction of the homestead family ranch in Palo Pinto County, Texas, on the cliffs overlooking the Brazos River. Her greatest joy was spending time among the wildlife at the family ranch. She took a great interest in wildlife of all types, and was the founding secretary and organizer of the conservation movement that became the quail tech alliance through Texas Tech University. Her guidance and skill in providing the documentation for this program has added greatly to her legacy. Jeri became an accomplished hunter and wing shooter and has become an accomplished pheasant hunter, the highlight of which is the annual to South Dakota with her husband. Jeri loved travel and the arts. She served for many years as a board member of the Equest Therapeutic Riding Program based in Dallas and contributed to it's growth as an organization, promoting therapeutic riding for individuals of all disabilities. The impact of her vision and accomplishments will be manifested in educational programs throughout the state of texas for generations to come. Her pioneering leadership with regard to the emersion of technology into the educational process has enabled school children throughout the state for multiple generations to benefit and have every advantage, whether from urban upbringings or the poorest school district. Hodges spearheaded initiatives to ensure that all children of Texas had opportunity to the finest technology available. As a mother and new grandmother, Jeri was steadfast in her provision of limitless love and caring for her family. To her daughters, she served as guide, counselor and friend. She took great pride in the arrival of her first grandchild in November of 2009. Abigail Elaine Berger became to true light of her life and the recipient of Jeri's unending love and kindness. She was a truly remarkable woman who carried herself with a sort of strength that most can only aspire to possess. Jeri is survived by her husband of 36 years, Charles M. Hodges, Dallas, two daughters, Courtney Lee Hodges, Dallas, and Christian Hodges Berger and husband Jonathan Berger, Dallas, and granddaughter Abigail Elaine Berger, Dallas, one sister Sherri Gill, Springvale, Minn., and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Shirley and Gerald Howell, Dallas.
