Stewart Evans Smith, 75, of Bentonville, Ark. passed away peacefully at his residence on Tuesday, March 6, 2018. He was born July 16, 1942 in Camden, Ark. to James Francis Smith and Ada Lee Watts Smith. He proudly served in the United States Army, graduated from Ouachita Baptist University and received his Master's in math from the University of Arkansas. Stewart was the financial director for the Bella Vista Property Owners Association before becoming financial director for the city of Bentonville. He also served on the Bentonville School Board. He was a faithful member of First Baptist Church for over 30 years, where he taught Sunday school and served as a Deacon member.

They were the love of his life; he enjoyed his family more than anything on earth. He was preceded in death by his parents.
