Ree Drummond Brother Doug Smith and Three Siblings
Drummond is among the four kids of her parents. She has two older brothers, Doug and Mike Smith, and one younger sister, Betsy Lee Smith.
Mike Smith
Michael Smith, also known as Mike to his close ones, was the older brother of Food Network star Drummond. He grew up with his three siblings in the oil town of Bartlesville.
He had special needs and was a known figure in his local community. He had a great interest in the work of local first responders. Mike used to work a few hours a day at his dad's office.
Sadly, he passed away on October 30, 2021, at age 54.
Although his cause of demise was never publicly shared, a close friend did mention he "went fast and did not suffer" via a tribute on social media, Hello Magazine reported.
Drummond also took to her Instagram to mourn her brother's passing. "Michael Smith, you were everything," she penned emotionally.
"It isn't possible to sum up the life of someone as perfectly wonderful as my brother Michael, so right now I won't try," she added. She told she was grateful for over 50 years of photos and memories.
Betsy Lee Smith
Betsy Lee is the youngest of the Smith siblings. The siblings never grew apart from each other and are extremely close.
Lee and Drummond often spend quality time together. Remember when the blogger celebrated her sister's stay on her ranch by posting fun pictures on Instagram in 2021?
Despite not sharing fiery locks like her big sister, Lee has plenty of similarities with her, from their genuine smiles to catchy eyes.
The sisters also share a love for football, as they enjoyed themselves cheering on Drummond's youngest son one evening during his game at Pawhuska High School.
Betsy has lived in Seattle for years. In May 2021, she came to Drummond's son's wedding. She and her son, Elliot, again visited them for Easter and while her son returned back to Seattle, she stayed for a few more days.
During her stay, Drummond's hubby once invited them to drive up to Kansas, where he was burning some pastureland. They had a wonderful time there.
