Ree Jean Schnee, 83, of Oregon, passed away Sunday, April 11, 2010 at her residence after several years of compassionate care from her husband Bill.
She was born to Grant and Ada (Swartz) Smith on November 6, 1926. As an administrative assistant with the City of Oregon for 27 years, she was well known and liked by her government colleagues. An active woman, she was a member of Oregon Fire Auxiliary, Dendarah Court #10 Zenobia Temple, and Zenobia Campers.
Having visited nearly all 50 United States, she spent her retirement years in the RV she shared with her husband, finding recreation at many casinos in the south. Her grandchildren will remember her for her fun-loving attitude towards life and her overwhelming involvement in each of their interests.
