My mom was born 1/3/40 to Homer and Treva Skutt, she was a premature at 6 months. Only 2 lbs, her parents gave her to her grandparents John and Cora Ott, where she got her new Family. Her sister Bonnie Hedger And brother Jack Ott. Mavis or Roxanne as she likes to be called (middle name) married my Dad Raymond H Smith May 3 Rd 1958. Their first born Barbara Jean Smith was born dead October 15 th 1958. After many many miscarriages I was born November 19th 1961.They were divorced in 67 or 68 I think. Mom led a wild life, car racing,traveling, she traveled all over the US. I stayed with my Dad and grandparents Harrison and Florence Smith all my childhood. 

My mom and I started our relationship late in life. I was 21 and had my child Christopher Wayne Chadwell. I got divorced in 83 and moved in with my mom.She finally settled down and helped me raise Chris, who she called her son.we bought property together worked together, raised Chris, when he turned 18 I met my current husband and moved out. We remained close, talked everyday, and I went to her home and stayed with her every 7 to 10 days for 3 or so days. She was sick, c o p d, , emphzema, and she had a bowel blockage. We had a chance to hash out all of the things she had done, or I had done thru the years and when she passed we had it all ironed out, forgiven,. Mom wasn't a saint and I don't claim she was, but she was a pain in my butt. But she was my pain, I loved her dearly, I miss her awful. She was my buddie in everything. I give her credit on helping raise my son, so does he. If I could have one more day, I would sing our songs, tell her to yell at me, and just sit quiet after that and hug and hold her, as much as she didn't like that.she was very special, in many ways. I will always remember the thing she tought me, and the lesions I learned living with her. During her life she was married to:

Raymond Smith

Ed Peck, Robert Marchal and Roy Hibbs

I was the only child, Chris the only grandchild, but he gave us three beautiful children Isabella, Lucas, and Silas, mom never got to hold Silas he was only a few months old when she passed. She now has one more grandson he was born September 19, 2017, his name is Wyatt James. It’s a shame they will never get to know each other.
