Rose Smith was born in Walla Walla, in 1927. She died peacefully on January 5th 2021, at Holy Family Hospital at the age of 93. She was preceded in death by, Gail Smith, her husband of 65 years. She met Gail on a blind date in 1948 and they were married 6 months later. Together they had 5 children, 14 grandchildren, 23 grandchildren and 8 great-great grandchildren.
Gramma Rose was a devoted wife to her husband, Gail. She had a special place in her heart for her grandchildren and greatly loved all of her family. She hosted family dinners every Sunday for years and you could be sure were on her list if you didn’t show up! Her passion was playing bingo. It was quite an adjustment for her when she could no longer drive to catch a bus to Worley. Her other loves for many years were sewing, cooking, crocheting, and her love for animals. We will miss her very much as she was a matriarch of the family. It is comforting to know that she is with her beloved husband, family and friends now.
In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
