Elizabeth passed away on October 9, 2018, at the age of 83.
The daughter of Lloyd and Ida Mae (Howell) Boling was born August 19th, 1935 at home in Inola. She would spend her childhood in Inola and attend Inola schools. It was also in Inola that she met a young cowboy named Gerald Smith. They began dating and married in the early part of 1953. Over the next few years the newly married couple lived in Owasso and Verdigris before moving back home to Inola. Elizabeth was proud of the fact that she was a stay at home mother. However, that wasn't her only job. Living on the farm gave her plenty of chores to deal with. After the kids were grown she even began working at Wal-Mart.
In her spare time Elizabeth had many hobbies and past times that she enjoyed. She loved reading, taking long walks with her family, and gardening. She loved raising flowers and vegetables. However, just spending time with her family was her one true love.
She is preceded in death by her parents Lloyd and Ida Boling, and son Larry.
Survivors include her husband Gerald Smith; children Terry Smith and wife Michelle and Vickie Barry and husband Mike; grandchildren, Donna, Christie, Trina, Kristi and Karla; great-grandchildren, Tyler, Trenton, Corbin, Meagan, Mallory, Mariah, Mark, Zoe, Rider, Jay, Kendal, Kristal, Blake and Jasmine; siblings, Doug and Steve Boling, Glenna King, Claudette Moor, Beverly Bickford and Wanda Payne.
