Eunice Smith Obituary

Eunice Iola Smith passed away at home, after a valiant 5 month battle with cancer. Eunice was born to James Hiram and Opal Fern Hurt in Lawson, MO, and has been a resident of Colorado since 1970.

Eunice was the devoted wife of Tom for 62 years, (who preceded her in death just 2 months ago) and loving mother to Stanley (Marian) of Florida and Stacy of Colorado; preceded in death by her son Stuart in 1996, and her sister Ina Faye in 2014. Eunice is cherished grandmother of Natalie (Gabriel) Booth, and Melanie & Kristina Smith. Eunice will be sadly missed by all, including her faithful dog, Cami.

Eunice and her sister, Ina Faye grew up on a dairy farm near Lawson. Eunice graduated Lawson High School in 1949 and spent much of her married life as a loyal military wife, living in various parts of the world supporting Tom's career. Eunice took great pride in taking care of both her family, and her beloved dogs.

I had the honor of being next door neighbors to Eunice and Tom for almost 6 years, and my family and I will forever hold the memory of their kindness in our hearts. The Schuepbach's.

I had the privilege of taking care of and befriending Tom and Eunice and I will carry that with me always. Stan and Stacy, you all were wonderful to me and I am so sorry that you are going through this painful time. Your parents were wonderful people and were more than proud of the two of you. You were their everything and they loved you and spoke of you dearly all the time. If you ever need anything, I am here.

Dear Stacy ,
We are so saddened by your very considerable loss.
Your Mom and Dad raised three sons, and if the others are anything like you, I know they felt they had done a wonderful job. You must have made them proud!
You are a tribute to the love and dedication they had for each other and, by extension, to you.
Sincerely,
Gavin and Trish
