throughout her life, always maintaining a positive outlook; and

Agriculture, the Scio Pottery Company, Lib Gray's Dressmaker Shop, and 
as a farmer for many years and still continues her active lifestyle by 
walking 2 miles every day; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Smith's character has been praised by her hospital 
volunteer coordinator, who describes her as ``nothing short of 
magnificent'' and that her spirit is ``not a day over 14''; Now, 
therefore, be it
  Resolved, that along with her friends, family, and the residents of
