BROWN -- Bonnie Kathleen Smith, 102, formerly from Tulsa, OK, currently of Missoula, MT, passed away January 29, 2005, in Missoula. She was born January 19, 1903, on a farm near Owasso, OK. She was the oldest daughter of Homer LaFayette Smith and Alice Valinda Flournoy Smith.
She moved with her family to Owasso when she was in third grade to help care for her grandmother, Sarah Penelope Fields Smith, after the death of her grandfather, John Jackson Smith.

She taught school for 31 years in Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona; 27 of those years she taught art. In 1989 she moved to Missoula, MT, to live with her daughter. She was a member of DAR, AAUW and UDC.
Bonnie is survived by her daughter, three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, all living in Montana.
