ST. GEORGE — The Desert Hills High School Latinos in Action club is holding a fundraising event Saturday to benefit the family of Lenae Smith, who died in an ATV crash March 10.
Club members are holding the fundraiser at the Jump Jump Party Supplies & Rental store located in the Kmart Plaza, 815 S. Bluff Street, from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. All proceeds will go to Lenae’s husband, Derrick Smith, a Desert Hills High School teacher, and the couple’s four children.
Lenae Smith, 36 of St. George, was riding an ATV near Navajo Drive, west of Bloomington, when a call came in to the St. George Police Department about a woman who had crashed on her four wheeler.

A mother of 4 should be more careful. Speeding around in a 4 wheeler is risk free.
*is NOT risk free
That’s disgusting a mother of 4 passes away and her family is devastated and someone comes in and attacks her for what she did or didn’t do. It’s amazing how ignorant people can be. sympathy to the family and the children who’s life have been so dramatically altered
Oh please, dotboy. YOUR charade of compassion is so fake.
Outlaw ATVs and this couldn’t have happened. At least some common sense ATV laws.
