Obituary

With great sadness, we announce the passing of Roseanna Tinker Smith, who left us on June 10, 2026. Born on October 11, 1982, Roseanna was a beacon of love and kindness throughout her life, enriching the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Roseanna was a wonderful mother, always making space for everyone in her life and heart. She loved deeply and cared profoundly for each of her children, ensuring that they always felt supported and cherished. Her nurturing spirit extended beyond her family; she consistently took care of those around her with incredible warmth and generosity.

Roseanna’s friends and loved ones knew her as someone who could talk endlessly, filling conversations with laughter, stories, and wisdom. She had a magnetic personality that made anyone feel heard and valued, capable of holding an entire room's attention with her genuine spirit.

She pursued her education with determination, earning her GED, and she brought the same dedication to all aspects of her life. Roseanna’s days were joyfully filled with cooking delicious meals, engaging in lively card games, coloring with vibrant creativity, and binge-watching crime TV shows, which were among her favorite pastimes.

Roseanna is survived by her sons, Jaron Mangas, and Kade Rice; daughters, Arianna Mangas, Keaira Rice, Lana Geronimo, and Haven Geronimo; grandchildren, Norman Chee, and Enzo Montoya Mangas; brothers, Alley Hosetosavit, and Taylor Smith. She is preceded in death by her mother, Clarinda Hosetosovit; father, Allen Smith; and sister, Carol Hosetosavit. 

The funeral service will be held on Friday, June 19, 2026 at St. Joseph Apache Mission with the rosary beginning at 9:00 AM and Mass of Christian burial beginning at 10:00 AM. Interment will follow at Mescalero Cemetery. 

Pallbearers are Helton Hosetosavit, Norris Kaydahzinne, Craig Valdez, Kyle Valdez, Delmer Morgan, Kendell Rice, Dellano Ortega, and Jeremt Enjady. Honorary pallbearers are all her dear friends and family. 

Though we now grieve her loss, the love and light Roseanna shared will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew her. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion, laughter, and unwavering care—a true testament to a life beautifully lived. Roseanna Tinker Smith will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
