Armerdean was born in Clanton, AL on February 2, 1975 to Amegene and Charlie Smith. She accepted Christ at an early age, and was baptized at Union Baptist Church.

Among her many accomplishments in the Army, Armerdean was awarded the Army Accomodation Medal, selected for an assignment at The Pentagon, and received an honorable discharge in 1997.

She continued to thrive professionally and became a Branch Manager for Chase Bank. Armerdean was an adventurous traveler, a caring mother of three, and a loving wife.

She cherished long conversations with her sisters, adored spending time with her family, and was always there to support her children in their activities. Her strength, love, and dedication will forever be remembered and missed.
