Jearldine (Smith) Canon was born March 12, 1931, in Cisco, Texas, to Wiley Thomas and Mary Estelle (Johnson) Smith.  Jearldine was a loving mother, a dedicated wife, and a wonderful person.  She loved spending time with her family.  Jearldine especially looked forward to celebrating the holiday season with her children and grandchildren; her favorite time of year.  Jearldine was also an amazingly talented cook.  She could make just about anything and she never needed a recipe.  Her specialties were sweets and baked goods, usually pies and cakes.  Jearldine made sure to pass her love and knowledge for cooking on to her children and grandchildren.  Jearldine was a truly unique soul and she will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
