February 7, 2007 CARLSBAD - Lena
Louise "Granny" Smith, 84, of Bonita Street, passed away
at home with her family around her on Feb. 5, 2007. Louise was born on
Sept. 4, 1922, in Taylor Springs, N.M. to Elec and Mary Belle (Sherrill)
Gleaton. Her mother died when she was six, so Louise, or "Weese" as her
family called her, was raised by her grandmother Elizabeth Sherrill and
later by her aunt and uncle, Frank and Camille (Sherrill) Gaines in Ft.
Worth, Texas. They were very good to Louise, and raised her and her
younger sister as if they were their own children. She attended school in
Ft. Worth. The summer that Louise turned 15 she and her younger sister
Katherine rode the bus from Ft. Worth to visit her sister Mary Smith who
lived with her husband on his family's ranch 26 miles south of Ft. Sumner.
While she was there she met the love of her life, Mary's brother-in-law
John Buford Smith, who worked the family ranch and also day worked at
other ranches. Even though there was a 14-year age difference, they were
both smitten and John serenaded Louise with his guitar and sang to her,
while her younger sister and his youngest brother watched and giggled.
There was a lot of horseback riding, dancing, and swimming in the Pecos
River that summer. She was a city girl in love with a real cowboy. John
often said that he thought "she was cuter than a little speckled pup under
a red wagon." When she went home John wrote to her only to have the
letters intercepted by her concerned aunt and uncle who didn't approve of
the age difference and wanted Louise to finish her education. Two years
later, when Louise was 17, she and her sister went to visit Mary again.
BIG MISTAKE! John and Louise saw each other and as you can probably guess,
she never went home. The romance was rekindled and they were married on
July 27, 1940, in Ft. Sumner. Shortly thereafter the Smith family and
neighboring ranch families threw a chivalry for them. Louise and John
started married life together on the Smith Ranch where they lived for many
years and had a lot of great memories, as you can imagine, with a young
newly married city girl learning all about ranch and rodeo life in the
1940s. When you asked Louise in later years about that time being hard,
she would say, Well, I was young and in love, and I didn't know any
better." Two of their four children were born during this time. They later
sold the ranch and moved to Missouri where they had another child, but
eventually settled in Carlsbad, where their last child was born and they
lived for the rest of their lives. John worked and retired from Potash
Company of America and Louise was a homemaker. Louise and John celebrated
53 wonderful years together. Some were hard, but they had a lot of love
and what it took to stay together. John died in 1992, and Louise spent the
last years of her life living life to the fullest, spending time with her
children, grandchildren, many friends, and a succession of little poodles,
the last of which is "John B." whom she named after her husband. She also
volunteered at the CARC Farm where she had many great friends. Louise was
a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and a friend to many.
She always had the time to listen and try to help anyone who needed help.
She had the patience of a saint, whether it was with a young
great-grandchild trying to explain something to her that she really didn't
understand, or an older grandchild talking to her about a concern, she
listened like they were the only ones in the world. She was a great cook,
and loved to travel. All you had to say was "let's go Granny," and she had
her purse and you were on your way. Louise had a wonderful sense of humor.
She was hard of hearing all of her life, and until about 15 years ago did
not wear a hearing aid. So, she sometimes would not hear the correct
pronunciation of words. When her family would tease her (which they did
quite often), she took it very good naturedly and laughed. She was fun, a
great sport, loved to laugh and instilled that and the love of family in
her children. Family gatherings were always a great time filled with
laughter. Louise loved her family and friends and was much loved by them
all. She will be greatly missed until we are together again. Louise was
preceded in death by her parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle, husband
John, two sisters, Mary Savage and Katherine Brown, brother Norman
Gleaton, grandson, Terry Baker, niece Pam VerBrugge, nephew Lannis Smith,
and numerous aunts, uncles, sisters-in-laws and brothers-in-law. She is
survived by daughters Bonnie Hess (Ed) of Carlsbad, and Camille Trombley
(Dalton) of Flora Vista; sons, John L. Smith (Reba) of Rosewood, Texas,
and Norman D. Smith of Albuquerque; grandchildren Lena Williamson (Jon),
