LIFE REFLECTIONS OF ROSE MARY WALKER-SMITH

The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not want. Psalms 23:1

Rose Mary Walker Smith, daughter of the late Mr. S.T. Walker and Mrs. Ida Mae Walker was born on September 8, 1963. She was born and grew up in the Sheep Island Community of Summerville, SC. She entered into eternal rest on the evening of August 3, 2022, at Trident Regional Medical Center surrounded by her loving family members.

Rose was educated in the Berkeley County School System. She also worked with Berkeley County School District for many years as a school bus aide for children with Special Needs, whom she loved so much and they showered her with the same love in return.

Rose, accepted Christ at a young age. She was a member of Macedonia Christian Church in the Sheep Island Community; once married she moved her membership to Canaan Christian Church. She was a faithful member for over twenty-five years and sung with the Missionaries. She was always a beautiful spirit, she always spoke her mind. She loved her family and showed it in many ways. She was always the bubbly spirit that would light up a room everywhere she went. She was always the life of the party.

Rose was joined in holy matrimony on March 19, 1983 to Namon Woodrow Smith. With this beautiful union they were blessed with two children, Demarko Smith and Marquita Smith.
