Ms. Smothermen is buried a considerable distance from here, in Aubrey's historic Belew Cemetery, and her headstone has an epitaph of "She made the best burgers in this world but Lord don't ask for fries!"
The alley is on the north side of W Exchange Avenue, a block west of N Main St. The memorial says:
Leta Smothermon
Friends,
This alley is dedicated to the memory of Leta Smothermon. If you knew Leta then you are already smiling. If you didn't know Leta -- well then -- let us tell you, she was a good mother, grandmother, friend of the rich and poor, the powerful and not so powerful, those who lived in big houses and those who didn't have houses, stray dogs and outlaws like us. Leta was also the best hamburger cook in Texas.
Till the end she did it her way --
Leta's Way
From Those who Love Her
and Will Never Forget Her.
