Rosalie Silvey passed from this life to her eternal home on November 4, 2010, from the Walsh Healthcare Center in Walsh, Colorado.
Mrs. Silvey is survived by her three sons: Howard Silvey and wife Joyce of Kingman, Kansas, James (Jim) Silvey, Travis Silvey and wife Judy, and son-in-law Rick Sharpe, all of Walsh, Colorado; fourteen grandchildren: Jolinda Goetz, Tressa Anderson, Janene McCormick, Shannon Silvey, Kyle Sharpe, Kim Wood, Kristy Smith, Karli Springsteel, Jada Breeden, Kara Mains, Bart Silvey, Jason Silvey, Cassie House, and KaAnn Vargo; twenty-seven great grandchildren, six great great grandchildren, seven step great grandchildren, six step great great grandchildren, a host of nieces, nephews and other family and friends.
Rosalie was preceded in death by her husband of many years, Cecil Silvey, her parents J.T. and Rosa Smith, a daughter Shirley Sharpe, a daughter-in-law Sandra Silvey and all four of her siblings.
Mrs. Silvey was born on July 15, 1917, in Hansford County, Texas, near the town of Spearman. Rosalie was the youngest of five children. She attended the country school of McBride and went to high school in Gruver. Despite the drought, dust storms and the depression of the 1930's, she continued her education and earned her teaching certificate from Panhandle A. and M. College in Goodwell, Oklahoma.
While teaching school at the small country school of Mitchell, in Baca County, she met her future husband, Cecil Silvey. They were married on June 11, 1938. They had celebrated sixty-six years of marriage before Cecil passed away in October of 2004.
They lived on the farm south of Vilas, began their family there, and resided there until they moved into town in 1957.
Rosalie worked as a postal clerk at the post office in Walsh from 1959 until she retired in 1980. She was an excellent cook and homemaker and was active in the Lamport Helping Hands Club and Home Extension for many years.
Rosalie was a loving wife, partner, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who always took a great deal of pride and delight in the achievements of her extended family.
She will forever be in the prayers and thoughts of everyone who knew, respected and loved her for the Great Lady that she was.
