Krystal Mae Smith

Krystal Mae Smith, 52, of Shawnee, OK and wife of Gary, mother to Walker, Addison and Embrie, passed away on Thursday, February 6, 2025. Her final moments were spent peacefully surrounded by family.

Krystal was born on October 14, 1972 in Shawnee, OK to her parents, Robert and Myra Newton. Known for her beautiful smile, sweet demeanor and quick wit, Krystal will be dearly missed by all who knew her including her beloved students.

Krystal’s family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life, not the sadness of her passing. 

One of her great achievements in life was nurturing the growth of her second and third grade students at McLoud Elementary. This past August, she returned to her beloved profession to teach second grade at Barnard School in Tecumseh.

Her proudest achievement in life was the strong, loving family she built with Gary, Walker, Addison, and Embrie.

She is survived by her husband, Gary Smith, her children, Walker of Weatherford, OK, Addison of Moore, OK and Embrie Smith of the home. She is also survived by her mother, Myra Newton Espinoza of Hot Springs, AR, her brother, Kevin Newton and wife Alexis, niece, Vallory, nephew, Zander all of Hot Springs, AR and numerous other beloved family members.

She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Newton.

A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.

Arrangements are under the direction of Walker Funeral & Cremation Service.
