She graduated from Lynn Camp High School in 1978.  She was voted “Cutest” in her senior class superlatives.  Rose was a beauty on the outside, but, most importantly, on the inside.

She was an amazing mother. She is survived by her only child, Suzanne Smith Eaton and husband Rob; her grandbabies: Mariah Cecilia Parker, Shyanne Jewell Parker, and Sarah Rose Eaton; and by her friend and former husband, Terry Wayne Smith, along with her best furry friend, Mr. Milo. Also surviving are several nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Rose was dearly loved and will be deeply missed.
