Lois Virginia Archambeault Smith, November 23, 1926 - August 23, 2020 (Find a Grave website download)

"Lois Virginia Archambeault Smith, 93, of Huntsville, Alabama, passed away Sunday. Lois was born in New York, New York and moved to Huntsville in her late teens. She married Wilfred Warren Smith in Huntsville, had three children, and loved working as one of NASA’s and Werner Von Braun’s original artists from 1958-1978. Upon retiring, she created beautiful oil, pastel, and watercolor art. She traveled to Europe, South America, the Mediterranean and the Far East. Lois loved her family, dogs, cats, cars, gardening, and playing Texas hold-em. She was absolutely adored by family and friends.

Survivors include children, Susan ‘Susie’ S. Brown (Jim), Stephen ‘Bubba’ W. Smith (Jean Ann), and Robin Smith Goldsmith; grandchildren, Kelly V. Givan (Steve), and Jennifer V. Goecke (Paul); great-grandchildren, Paige Givan, Parker Givan, Connor Goecke, and Collins Goecke; and cousins by marriage, Patrick Smith and Mike Smith and their families.

A family only graveside service was held at Maple Hill Cemetery on August 25, 2020 with the Reverend Red Kerusso officiating.

Special appreciation to Brookdale Jones Farm Assisted Living for their superior care and friendship of Lois from 2019-2020.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Heart Association (www2.heart.org)."

Move over Rosemary Dobbins. And TAKE THAT Rosemary Dobbins' seemingly inconsiderate & arrogant daughter. Your mother wasn't the only trailblazer/pioneer!
A resounding WIN.

Continue to Rest In Peace Dear Lady & Thank You.

HOPEFULLY, I’ll either come across or conclusively identify a few more of her works before I end this otherwise pointless Flickr 'endeavor'.
