Barbara Erma Smith, 14, passed away November 16, 2016 at her home.
She was a student at Dozier Middle School, where she had many friends that she enjoyed being around. Barbara loved spending time with her family especially her Aunt, cousin and little brother Junior. She had a great sense of humor, enjoyed spicy Mexican food, listening to music and pink was her favorite color. Barbara was all around athletic, but could still hang out at home and play video games with her Dad. She touched many lives and will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her parents, Victoria Rodriguez and Jerry Wayne Smith; her brothers, Christopher W. Smith, Aaron W. Smith, Mariano Rodriguez Smith and Jerry W. Smith, Jr.; along with aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.
The family will receive friends from 10 am – 12 Noon, Tuesday, November 22, 2016 at Altmeyer Funeral Home, Denbigh Chapel, followed by a service at 12 Noon. Burial will take place in Peninsula Memorial Park.

i remember back when me and Barbara started school in dozier for the first time i was violent and never paid attention until she set me straight and said we would graduate together i promised her that but i didn’t keep the promise because my family moved and i was forced to move out of Virginia later on in the year i heard about barbaras passing and i was devastated out of us two she was the smart one i always admired her for that i wish i could go back in time and change events to where i could of told her how much she means to me and convinced her that life is worth living and that if there are problems at home that your friends are there for you and she could’ve of said something so none of us would felt this pain in her passing. i can say with all my heart that i considered her family and that this happend to me instead because she was the smart one between us and was supposed to go to college and live her life. but the thing i wish the most is that i can hug here one more time and tell her how much she means to me

I am so sadden by your loss. Barbara was one of my students this year and such a pleasure to have in my class. She was smart, funny, and liked to share her ideas. She was well liked by her follow students and the staff truly enjoyed her being in their classes. I will miss her in class everyday.

It’s me, Mandy Gibbons from your core 1…and I know we haven’t been friends for a long time, but everyday you would always be smiling and joking around. So in a way I kinda looked up to you, and you called me weird that one day and I replied “Aren’t we all?”. But to Barbara’s mom and dad: I’m so sorry for your loss….she shouldn’t of died so early. We all will miss her. Bless her soul….

Dear Jerry & Vickie, your daughter Barbara was one of my very close friends. For a long time I dealed with depression when the other children at Dozier Middle were bullying me. For a long time the kids would call me gay & said I liked guys when i didnt and it wasnt true. And your daughter stood up for me. God bless u all.

Jerry and Vicky, I am very sorry about the loss of your daughter, Barbara. She is such a beautiful and sweet girl. I know that losing a daughter at such a young age is a very painful experience for everyone. I hope that all the beautiful memories of her will help comfort you during this difficult time. She will be sorely missed but know that she will always be there loving you and watching over you.

Jerry and Vickie, we are so sorry for your loss. Last year, when Jerry, Barbara and Lisa came to visit for a few days we had such a great time with them. Barbara was such a little sweetheart. The kids had such a good time with her. We all had such a great visit with everyone at the cookout at Melissa’s. Please know that our hearts are breaking for all of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you. Mary Sue & Family….
