Visitation will take place Friday, Feb. 11 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Autry Funeral Home in Frankston.

Rose Lynn Williams Boling was born Nov. 14, 1945 in Jacksonville to Harry E. and Mary Helen Williams. She passed away Jan. 30, 2022 at the age of 76.

Rose Lynn grew up in Frankston, where she graduated high school, and then completed her nursing degree at Texas Eastern School of Nursing in Tyler on Aug. 4, 1967.

While completing her clinical rotation in Austin, she met and fell in love with her husband Darrell Wayne Boling. Rose Lynn and Darrell married on Aug. 5, 1967. They settled in Frankston where they raised their daughter Kimberly Lynn and were married for 54 years.

Rose Lynn had a deep faith in God that guided her throughout her life. She was a member of the First Baptist Church and the church choir. Rose Lynn prayed for everyone she knew and committed herself to a life of service to others. She rose before dawn to read her Bible and journal her thoughts to God every day before work. Rose Lynn wrote that she and her family were blessed by God. She was most thankful for her “salvation and fantastic family”: “We were poor and my parents did their best, …. but I was loved and I felt it.” She enjoyed being an older sister, reminding her brother Don that she was the older sister, and fondly remembered tugging on his coat to make him go faster on their walks to school. Their close bond endured through the years.

Rose Lynn was a committed nurse and impacted countless lives. When Darrell was stationed in San Diego, California, serving in the United States Navy, she worked in an orthopedic surgeon’s office. In 1976, Rose Lynn earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing Administration from Southwest Texas University. Over her career, Rose Lynn worked as a psychiatric nurse at Austin State Hospital, a pediatric nurse at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin, a director of surgery at Memorial Hospital in Palestine and at Mother Frances Hospital in Jacksonville, and she provided genuine patient care and treatment as a state correctional facility nurse at the Michael Unit. During each career move, Rose knew that God was leading her.

Rose Lynn dedicated herself to her family entirely. Being a mother to Kimberly brought her great joy, and she supported her daughter in every one of her pursuits. Rose loved sports, the outdoors, and adventure. She grew up fishing and camping with her close family. She was an avid bowler and dance partner to her husband. She was known for her spirited nature to all and as a positive and encouraging matriarch to her cousins and descendants. She brightened every room.

Even during the years when Rose Lynn was not as sharp-witted as she once was, she still carried an abiding love for her family. She may not have recognized everyone or remembered everything, but she would tell you that her husband loved her and that he was a good man. After Rose Lynn spent years tending to the care of others, Darrell spent years tending to her every need. Rose repeatedly told her daughter Kimberly that she loved her and reminded her that she wouldn’t understand the depth of that love until she became a mother of her own. The birth of Rose’s first granddaughter, Charley Rose, allowed Kimberly to understand exactly what her mother meant.

Rose Lynn is preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Mary Helen Williams, and grandparents, Silas Harrison and Vivian Pearl Evans Williams, and Charles Arthur and Rosa Virginia Dabbs Ellis.

She is survived by her husband Darrell Boling of Frankston; daughter and son-in-law, Kimberly and Andy Brazeal of Frankston; granddaughters Charley Rose and Lillian Jayae of Frankston; brother and sister-in-law, Don and Cheryl Williams; nieces, Jennifer French, Julie Waldon, Regina McNeal, Sara Darrah, and Diana Boling; nephews, Brad Bryant and Blake Bryant; many close family members, and special friends who loved her dearly.

Pallbearers include Travis King, Johnnie Burks, Bill Hyde, Jerry Beard, Larry Lummus and Joey Maxwell. Honorary Pallbearers include Betsy Anderson, Margie Grissom, Debbie Berry, Nelda Welch, Judy Burks, Lauren King, and Nikki Franks.

The family requests memorial donations be made to Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County, www.alzalliance.org .
