Ann Marie McLaughlin

On May 21, 2024, the world lost a shining light as Ann Marie McLaughlin bid farewell to this earthly home, surrounded by her beloved family after a brief illness. She was born on January 26, 1978, in San Francisco, CA, but was raised in Lake Butler, FL, by her parents, Dale and Dorothy Smith. 

Ann Marie dedicated her life to being a devoted homemaker; however, her impact reached far beyond the walls of her own home. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and known for her outgoing and talkative nature, as well as her servant's heart.  Ann Marie possessed a deep-seated love for serving others. Her genuine desire to help people touched the lives of many and left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her. 

Ann Marie is survived by her husband of 14 years, Alex McLaughlin; her children Michael, Andrew, and Sierra Mohl; her mother Dorothy Smith; sisters, Deann (Jeff) Bennett and Dori (David) Romrell; and a host of extended family and dear friends. She was also preceded in death by her father, Dale Smith; sister, Dana Smith; and her brother, Zane Williams.

A Memorial Service to celebrate Ann Marie's life will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Lake Butler, FL, on Thursday, May 23, 2024. The service will begin at 5:00 PM. Ann Marie's final memorialization will be by cremation under the care and direction of Archer-Milton Funeral Home. 386-496-2008 www.archerfuneralhome.com
