Our beautiful little warrior, Ava Louise Smith, was born June 14, 2001, and was called home September 20, 2023.
Ava was a graduate of Kilgore High School in 2020. She loved her family friends, movies, her yogurts, iced coffee, but most of all music.
She leaves behind her parents, Richard L. and DeeAndra Burnett Smith; siblings, Elizabeth Burnett Lara (Pedro); Richard W. Smith (Shelby); and Chloe Johnson all of Kilgore; grandparents, David and Nancy Smith of Longview; and Sandra Cline Fuller of Kilgore; aunts and uncles, David and Nikki Smith of Kilgore; Angela Shipman; John Smith; and Brad Smith all of Longview; her
"CoCo" Amanda Corbett and Eddie; and Vicki Fleming all of Kilgore.
Ava had a very special relationship with her nieces and nephews, Emily; Sophia; Elaina; Olivia; Isabella; Robbie; Preslee; Liam and Nikea.
Ava was preceded in death by her Granny, Lynda Beall Gibson and Granddaddy, A.D. Burnett.
We will celebrate her precious life at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, October 7, 2023, at Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Kilgore.
