Nancy Lynn

Smith

Nancy Lynn Tygart Smith, 75, died on November 3, 2026. Born on March 28, 1951, she grew up in Mount Vernon, Indiana, and graduated from the University of Evansville with a degree in education. Earlier in her life, she worked as a preschool teacher.

Nancy shared 53 years of marriage with her husband, Raymond Smith. Together, they raised three children: Courtney, Brittney, and Ashley.

Nancy enjoyed cooking, gardening, reading, shopping, and crafts, and had a fondness for dogs. When her children were growing up, she enjoyed baking all kinds of homemade goodies. She especially loved Christmas, embracing the decorations and traditions that came with the season. A “collector of all things,” as her family describes her, she enjoyed finding things that caught her interest. She had a good sense of humor and especially appreciated a well-timed sarcastic remark.

Nancy is survived by her husband, Raymond; her children, Courtney Stahl and her husband, Jason, Brittney Odom and her husband, Bobby, and Ashley Smith; and five grandchildren, Jonah and Joel Stahl, and Lila, Wyatt, and Rylan Odom.

Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, James and Jayne Tygart, and her sister, Ruth Ann, who died in childhood.

A private graveside service will be held for immediate family, with arrangements through Eisenhour Funeral Home in Blanchard, Oklahoma. Online obituary and guest book are available at www.eisenhourfh.com

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the McClain County Humane Society.
