Flora May (June) Smith

August 28, 1929– August 5, 2020

Our mother was born in Ash Flat Oklahoma on August 28, 1929. She was the second born child to Michael Peters Stover and Kitty Emma Stover. She joined an older brother James Mercer Stover. The Stover clan soon grew to include Emma Lou and Michael Peters (Pete) Stover.

In approximately 1939 the family moved from Oklahoma to Wendell, Idaho and then to Challis, Idaho for a short time, then returning to the Magic Valley. Which is where the Stover kids were educated, lived life, and kicked up the dust! February 25, 1950 Mom married the handsome young man from Wendell, Ronald Charles Smith. They were really lucky to welcome myself, Vickie Lou and my baby brother, Ronald Charles Smith Jr. to their little family! All kidding aside. we were the LUCKY ones!! Dad and Mom owned and operated a farm in the Shoestring community located between Gooding and Wendell until about 1989 when they semi-retired and moved into Wendell. They stayed in the Hub City until 2015 when due to poor health they moved to Boise.

Our mom was the quintessential farm wife, she worked hard, cleaned even harder, but could put on her best and go dancing with our dad! She was known for her fried chicken, cream of asparagus soup, chocolate chip cookies, and holiday fudge. She gave her all and battled right up to the end, when a stroke took her from us.

Mom was preceded in death by her parents, our paternal grandparents Raymond and Nile Smith, her brothers. Pete and Mercer Stover, and a great granddaughter Liv Hope Wolf. She is survived by her soul mate and partner in crime for 70 years. Our Dad, Ronald C. Smith. Surviving her also is my brother, Ron C. Smith Jr., his son Travis (Cristina) and children Lily, Andrew, and Alyssa .... my husband Roger A. Wolf, my son Luke (Lyss) grandchildren Payten, Ryker, and Brender and my son Zack Wolf. We are blessed to have our Aunties. Gayle Stover, Emma Telford, and Norma Lowe. And last but definitely not least many cousins and second cousins whom are all cherished as well.

A private ceremony was held in Boise at the Veterans Cemetery and one at the Wendell Cemetery also.

Donations may be made to Heritageark Place Assisted Living, 1777 S. Curtis Rd. Boise. 83705. where the BEST staff is still caring for our dad!
