Obituary
Karla Jean Smith was born on December 20th, 1981 to Sandy B. Lantis/Smith and Jerry W. Smith. Karla was residing in Rifle, Colorado at the time of her death on December 3rd, 2017.
Karla went to International Academy of Design & Technology college. She was a caring, fun loving, happy, outgoing person. She loved fishing, arts and crafts, gardening, and the outdoors. She was an avid Steelers fan and had a major love for penguins. Then when she had her son Douglas, she spent the first five years of his life being a loving stay-at-home mom. She enjoyed taking him camping & fishing and doing arts and crafts. She was a member of the MOPS Group (Mother's of Preschoolers) and donated her time to the local food bank and other organizations. She had just started back in the workforce this year, but was taken too soon to pursue her dreams.
Karla is survived by her loving mother, Sandy Smith of Sundance, WY; father, Jerry Smith of Fruita, CO; her loving son, Douglas Martin Lyells age 5 (also known as JR); loving sisters, Marty Smith of Sundance and Billie Jo Shull; brother-in-law, (but to Karla was a true brother) Claude Shull, of Charles City, VA; nephews, Calvin Smith, Christopher Smith, Caleb Smith and Craig Smith of Sundance, Ke'Ali'i Kai Shull of United States Naval Base, San Diego, CA; niece, Miranda Shull of Charles City, VA; half-brother, Colby W. Smith; step-sister, Kacey F. Beagley, of Fruita, CO and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. At the time of her passing she was residing with Douglas E. Lyells, Audra L. Lyells, and Debra A. Lyells of Rifle, Colorado, who also survive her.
