On Wednesday, November 9, 2022, Drewcilla (DeeDee) Boatright Smith, unexpectedly left us to go be with her Lord, at the age of 48. DeeDee was born on February 19, 1974, in Tallahassee, FL, to Bobby Boatright and Karen Hughes Boatright. She attended Leon County schools, graduating in 1992 from North Florida Christian Academy. In 2011, she married Trace Smith, joining their two families to create a blended family of six. Most recently she was employed by Turn About at Disc Village.
DeeDee loved crafting, creating many beautiful gifts for family and friends. She also loved gardening, as shown by her yard full of plants, many of which she gathered from many places in her daily travels. But her greatest joy was being a Nonni to her four grandchildren.
