Bobbie Jean Smith Hubanks, 73, of Arkadelphia, AR, succumbed to cancer on September 1, 2011. She spent her last days in peace in Jacksonville, FL, with family by her side. A cup of coffee and a butter biscuit was all that was needed to provide her with the care-giving mentality and functionality of an angel. Whether it be her brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, grandchildren, or her dogs, those around her could feel the endless love she provided. Her beauty, will power and compassion were as boundless as the oceans are deep. She is predeceased by her parents, Vance Smith SR and Ruth Joslin Smith; her husband, Marvin Bud Hubanks; two sons, Jackie Scott and Robert Brown, Jr.; a grandson, Cody Blue Ingle; three brothers, Carl, R.V. , and James Pete Smith; three sisters, Darnell Collins, Annie Lee Hickman, and Barbara Marion.
