(nee Osowski) Found peace on Wednesday, June 20, 2018, at age 53. Daughter of the late Joan Rauwald and Edwin Osowski. Beloved Sister of Timothy (Katherine) Dennis, Daniel (Candace) Dennis, Thomas (Christine) Dennis, Jean Shefky (best friend Scott Homann) and the late Susan Schaefer.
Further loved by nieces and nephews who she adored, other relatives and many friends.
Gathering will be held at St. Bernadette Parish, 8200 W. Denver Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53223 on Wednesday, July 11, 2018 at 5:30 PM in the “Gathering Area” (rear of church). A Memorial Mass to honor her life at 6:30 PM.
A special “thank you” to her dedicated Social Worker Lisa Regner, the Caregivers and Residents/Friends at Angel Love Joy Group Home and the compassionate ICU nurses at St. Joseph Hospital in Milwaukee.
Laura was a caring and compassionate CNA and Caregiver. She treated all her patients as though they were her own family members and friends. Her loving gentle attention she gave to others was recognized by many; and as a result, put her in demand.
Laura’s greatest joy was spending time with family and friends sharing a meal or sweet treat while reminiscing, laughing and telling stories.
Rest now Laura, we love you!
LAURA ANN SMYTHE
Sweet dreams our little sister
On your way to Heaven’s Glory
We will truly miss you
But promise to share your story
Mischievous, sweet and sassy
Kind to those in need
“Sharing” was her calling card
“Caring” was her Creed
Short of stature but large in giving
Spunky and sentimental
As a CNA and caregiver
She was loving and so gentle
Simple pleasures made her happy
Known for the sweet tooth that she had
Treats she never ate alone
For others should not be sad
Her love of God and Blessed Mother
Gave her comfort and some peace
She held a rosary in her hand
Her worries and fears decreased
Be happy now with Sue and Mom
Your heart now on the mend
Until we join you once again
Our love to you we send

Laura was my sister-in-law. I remember all the kind things she did. When my father was on his death bed he asked her to buy a card to give to my mother for her birthday.Dad was unable to get out of bed and would only live 4 days more. She bought the card so he could give my mother this for her birthday.She was also sitting at my mother's bedside when my mom passed away. We are deeply grieved but we know Laura is safe in the arms of Jesus.
