Printha Sue Smith

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Printha Sue Smith, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, on August 16, 2024. Sue was born and raised in Ft. Laramie, WY, and her life was a testament to love, resilience, and unwavering dedication to her family.

Sue is survived by her beloved husband, Marsdon Smith, who stood by her side through all of life’s challenges. She leaves behind two cherished daughters, Christina West and Dawn Hall, who were her pride and joy. Sue was also a loving grandmother to Desiree Crosier (Chance Crosier), Brittiny Haberkorn (Ryan Haberkorn), Brandon Hall (Michael-Anne Goodart-Hall) Marissa West, and Zachary West, and a doting great-grandmother to seven beautiful great-grandchildren: Aubrey, Oakley, Lilly, Radley, Reston, Braven, and Timbre.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Mary Alice Hill, her brother Jim Hill, her sister Sally Elmore, and her mother-in-law, Myrtle Smith, and multiple in-laws, nieces and nephews.

Those who knew Sue would describe her as the most genuinely kind person they ever met. She cared deeply for everyone in her life and did everything in her power to ensure her family was always taken care of. Sue had a passion for crafting and cooking, and she took great pride in her appearance, always making sure her hair, makeup, and nails were done for any occasion. Her weekly calls to family members outside of Cheyenne were a testament to her loving and nurturing spirit.

Sue was the center of her family, a beacon of love and strength who will be deeply missed. Her legacy of kindness, love, and devotion will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. Sue was a devoted Christian and her faith in God flowed into her daily life and she was a true blessing from the Lord.

Services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Friday, August 23, 2024, in Wiederspahn-Radomsky Chapel. Burial services will follow the service at the Cheyenne National Cemetery. A reception will be held at The Gathering Place, where friends and family are invited to celebrate Sue's remarkable life.
