Osborne, Susan Ann Smith Susan Ann Smith Osborne 1942 ~ 2005 Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Susan Ann Smith Osborne, Salt Lake City, died December 2, 2005 at home surrounded by her family and friends, after a courageous, four-year-long battle with cancer. Susan was born October 8, 1942, in Salt Lake City to Royal Milton Smith and Hazel Ruby Warburton Smith. Susan spent her early years in Salt Lake City, Elko, and Moab. She married her loving husband, Phillip Eugene Osborne, whom she had met while attending the University of Utah, on October 16, 1963. Phil and "Sparrow" moved the next day to the Bay Area, where Susan subsequently graduated from San Francisco State University with a B.S. degree in Office Administration and a minor in Accounting. After living in San Francisco and the Bay area for nearly a decade, Susan, Phil and their children returned permanently to Salt Lake City. On April 30, 1985, Susan and Phil were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple and sealed for time and all eternity with their three children. Her Mormon faith was a cornerstone in her life, and she enjoyed serving in the Primary, Sunday School, and Young Women's Association. Susan excelled in numerous vocations - as real estate agent, librarian, legal secretary, and most certainly as wife and mother. She retired from the Granite School District in 2004 after a very successful and enjoyable 20-year career. Her last position at the district was as the Administrative Assistant to the Assistant Superintendent of School Services. Susan's wide circle of friends included neighbors, associates from work (especially her two traveling buddies, Karen Westover and Linda Frank, who along with Susan were nicknamed the "Three Gypsies"), and three life-long friends she met while growing up in Moab, Nancy Melich, Karen Ellison and Annette Mestas, who forever will be known as the "Moab Gang." Susan enjoyed cooking, sewing, hiking, swimming, and traveling. Her love of travel was kindled during the summer of 1958 when her Girl Scout Troop #1, under the guidance of leader Dorie Melich, traveled by chartered bus from Moab to Mexico. Since then, Susan (the "family travel agent") has traveled with her family and friends to many places - her most favorite places being in Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, Mexico, Montana, New York, and Oregon. Susan, or "Grandma Susie," deeply treasured her grandchildren, Milo, Max, Levi, and Emma. She also enjoyed summers spent with her family, friends, and relatives at the "Osborne Country Inn" in the mountains above Heber. Preceded in death by her parents and grandparents. Survived by her eternal companion and loving husband, Phil; her beloved daughter, Stacey Ann Osborne Romney; her devoted sons, Michael Troy Osborne and Matthew Lewis Osborne; her cherished daughter-in-law, Claire Marie Wilstead Osborne; her terrific son-in-law, Peter Steele Romney; her adored grandchildren, Nicholas Milo Romney, Maxwell Isaac Romney, Levi Alexander Romney, and Emma Claire Osborne; her brothers, Milton Heber Smith and Ronald Warburton Smith; her sisters, Connie Smith Baty, Launa Thomas, and Ernestine Thomas; her cruise partners and sisters-in-law Patricia Osborne Birkinshaw and Lois Osborne Baxter, as well as Aunt Josie Smith, Uncle Ray Clark, Uncle Ken Warburton, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
