EAST CARBON - Edna Rae Smith, age 81 passed away after beating a courageous battle with cancer on Christmas day surrounded by her loving family and in the arms of her devoted husband.
She was born March 23, 1924 in Web City, MO. She married the love of her life Lawrence James Smith July 1, 1944 and was sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple July 2, 1964. They lived in Draper for 29 years where they raised their 8 children and in 1976 they moved to Carbon/Emery counties until July 2005 when they moved to Riverton.
She loved traveling on short trips, especially in the mountains and wherever she could see a river. Her favorite hobby was crocheting, reading and listening to Christmas music. Edna worked as a telephone operator for Bell Telephone Co. from 1942 to 1946. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt. Which is what she devoted her entire life to.
She was a very innocent, honest, humble women, and to all who knew her, she was always giggling and sharing that beautiful smile. She was always there for every one of her children. When we were down she would tell us in one way or another to keep your hearts free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, fill your life with love, scatter sunshine, forget self and think of others. This was how she survived life and this is how she left.
She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Survived by husband, Lawrence James Smith; daughters, Lawral Bunker (Dick), Lynda Logan (Richard), Jeannie Ringwood (Cregg), Bertha Davis (Todd), Tressie Rudden (Randy); sons: Lawrence Joseph Smith, Samuel Lyle Smith (Amy) and her 28 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, three greats on the way; sister Audrey Manness (Elmo) and her brother Burr Clayton (Diane) and many nieces and nephews.
