Jodee Smith passed away on November 12, 2020 in West Jordan, Utah. She was born on June 3, 1960 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Gordon Nathaniel and Joanne DeHaan Smith. She was the third of eight children and enjoyed a close bond with her siblings throughout her life. Jodee was married 15 years to Richard Cary Gerber. Together they had their five children. Jodee lived for her family. She enjoyed creating deep, personal relationships. She could be found at baseball games, dance performances, music recitals, school plays, and running events. She hosted tea-parties, family dinners, and excursions to feed the ducks.
Jodee was a woman of faith, never faltering in her devotion to God. She enjoyed singing, teaching, and spending time with the young women. She loved the temple and cherished her many experiences in the house of the Lord. She knew temple work was God’s work here on Earth.
The mountains were a source of strength for her. She cherished her time at the family cabin and fulfilled a life goal of visiting the Alps in Switzerland.
Jodee had many phases in her professional life and treasured the people she worked with. She climbed the corporate ladder as a top 40 sales rep for Kinko’s. Later, in Real Estates  Jodee loved helping people find their dream homes. She ended her career at West Jordan Middle School.
She was a die-hard fan of all things red, including, cherries, roses, sunsets, and Utah football and gymnastics. Go Utes!
