Tribute

Our beautiful mother Jill Smith has been reunited with all her loved ones in heaven on November 26, 2021. She was born February 24, 1963 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Her parents were Robert and Sharon Hensley. She was in sports growing up and was more like a tomboy. She definitely was a daddy’s girl.
Jill did a lot in her lifetime, and touched souls wherever she went. She was a hard worker and never gave up. Her passions were music, dancing, shopping, and cooking. Those that knew her best, remember Jill as a funny, loving, caring, courageous woman. She would take anyone in and help them as much as she could. Once you were in her presence, you were considered family and nothing less. She would soon be called Mama Jill. Everyone thought of her as that. Jill loved her kids with all her might. She was truly dedicated as a team mom, and did the bake sales and cooked for every game. She went to every game, and opened her home to all the teammates. Jill ended up owning her own Fish Joint in Columbia, South Carolina and it was booming. Her love for music was out of this world. Jill could name every Motown song down to the year it came out. She decided to move to Big Spring, TX to be closer to her grandkids. She definitely spoiled them rotten and they called her Nana, Nina, GRADma, and Bling-Bling. She did everything for her kids and grandkids. Jill made friends wherever she went and there’s nothing she wouldn’t have done for them as well. Jill ended up meeting the love of her life in Big Spring, TX. Jill and Arthur had this love that everyone would envy. He was her heart and the spark between these two was amazing. Back in the day she was also known as Salt & Peppa. Her best friend Tammy Latigue was Peppa. They were friends for 37 years and counting. They lost touch for awhile, but reunited almost 2 years ago, and they’ve stayed in contact ever since. Jill was very uplifting and had a heart of gold.
She leaves behind family and friends who will always cherish the time they spent with her. This includes her oldest daughter, Deedra Guerrero and son-in-law Robert Guerrero and grandsons Alize DeLaney, Christian Alvarez, and Dominik Alvarez. Her son, Alex Smith and his girlfriend Chavanda Mickin and grandson Alexander Smith; her significant other, Arthur Galloway; also left to carry on her memory are her brothers, Derek Hensley and Jason Hensley; sister, Kimi George, and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews, in-laws, and friends.
Preceding Jill in eternal rest are her parents, Robert and Sharon Hensley; son, Gregory “Pumpkin” Robbins II; grandparents, Aza and Alvie Jones; brother, Kevin Hensley; sister, Susie Hensley; and nephew, Robert “Tyler” Hensley; and niece, Karen Hensley.
