Katrina Ann Smith-Evans

It's with heavy heart we announce the passing of Katrina Smith, age 48. She was born August 21, 1978 to Noah and Lupe Gutierrez in Brownwood, Tx. She was raised in Sidney, Tx but graduated from Comanche High School in 1996.

She loved teaching children and was a head-start teacher for a few years. Later she worked at agency on aging for many years, while also part time at Comanche funeral Home. Later on she went full time at the funeral home and became the manager. Any one who knew Trina or met her can agree she was a ray of sunshine. Everything she did, she had a smile on her face and a contagious laugh. Trina had a very big love for Dr Pepper. You could find her and Joe at the beer garden on Karaoke night, Joe with a beer and Trina a Dr Pepper. She was always reading a book on her phone and would love to sew chicken feed bags into purses and bags. She loved a cozy blanket and loved to take care of her chickens. She was big on giving back to those who needed help especially the FFA of Comanche and buying supplies at the beginning of the year for lower income families. She will be deeply missed but we know she is up in heaven with Joe piddling around and laughing with her dad.

She is survived by her sons, Aaron Spells & wife Karina, Cam'ron Spells, Jason Evans & wife Tiffany, Mikey Phillips & wife Teresa; daughter, Jodi Schuman & husband Luke; granddaughters, Maeley, Addyson, Paisyn, Lani, Landri, and Lawsyn; mother, Lupe Gutierrez; brother, Roy Valdez & wife Lee Ann and their children Gracie and Jake; and numerous uncles, aunts, and cousins.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Joe Evans; father, Noah Gutierrez; and numerous extended family. 

In Lieu of flowers, donations and memorials may be made to the Comanche FFA or Cooks Children Health Care.

A special thank you to Dr. Davis, Bre from Alpha Omega Hospice, and Cheryl Lucas for all they have done for Katrina over the past few days.
