Robert Smith Sr., M.D. On December 19, 2018, God called Otrie Bertrelle Hickerson Smith to

Himself where she was welcomed by parents Carl, Sr. and Murphy, brothers

Carl Jr. and Charles, and son Robert. Otrie was married to Dr. Robert Smith,

Sr. As accomplished as she was as a physician, Otrie’s real passion and pride

were in her roles as mother, wife, and servant of the Lord. The three were

her life into the lives of her family. She took seriously the words of her

mother Murphy who said “ I live to make a contribution to humanity through

my children” She is survived by husband Dr. Robert Smith Sr., son Claude

Alexander, Jr. (Kimberly), daughters Donna Elizabeth Smith and Pamela
