Rosemary Ann Smith (Leahy), affectionately known as Rosie, peacefully passed away on September 16, 2023, at the age of 79 in Bixby, Oklahoma. Rosie was born on August 7, 1944, in Port Huron, Michigan, to her loving parents, Donald Read Obituary
In late Summer of 2008, after the usual weekend shenanigans on Grand, Rosie and Cary were just getting back to Tulsa when I called Rosie in a panic. Just minutes before that call Fred had fallen backwards off our old (dry docked) boat onto pavement. He landed with his left hand out. Our girls ages 9 & 13 were at our house on Grand but we were several miles away and this was not your average fracture. Going back to get them was just not an option. Without question, the Smiths turned around and went all the way back to get our Amanda and Lexi.
How fortunate we were to have such goodfriends! “Aunt Rosie” wouldnt leave alone 🥰 that night. So many memories! Miss you Rosie❤️
Rosie was a sweet person with a funny dry sense of humor. May she rest in peace after her valiant fight. Prayers for Cary, Amy, Adam and family. I remember the last time I was out with her we had met her and Cary for dinner. Cary wanted to stop by and show us Amy’s new house. It struck me how when we got to the house Rosie lit up when she saw Gant. I remember thinking they must have had a special bond.
