Caroline Rose Smith

Caroline Rose Smith passed from this life on Friday, May 1, 2020. She will be missed by all whose lives she touched. Caroline was 83 years young, and she had the energy, and the drive of a twenty year old. She was born July 11, 1936, to Troy and Cecelia Smith of Mt. Vernon, Indiana. Her passions were her work, family, friends and church.

She moved to the big city of Dallas as a young adult. When she would make return visits to Indiana, her friends would mention how glamorous she had become. One time she was even mistaken for a movie star. This was the opposite of who Caroline was. Caroline was a modest, loving, generous, and very down to earth person. She would help anyone in need or who needed support by staying and helping at their homes or visiting in the hospital.

Caroline worked and retired form Oilwell Supply in Dallas, remaining in touch with her coworkers throughout the years. She was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Dallas and attended St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Richardson..

Caroline was preceded in death by her sister Patricia Ann Howell of Dallas, and her partner, Sidney Lebowitz of Richardson. She leaves behind her nieces and their spouses, Karen Bravo (Lou) of Grapevine, Jonnita Bean (Bob) of Pottsboro, and Jonnette Piercy (Mark) of Lubbock. Also, Caroline leaves behind two great-nieces, Ashley Piercy Hanson of Lubbock, and Chelsea Bravo of Grapevine.
