Rosie Hinsz passed away on Aug. 4, 2019. Rosie was born in Seattle on Oct. 13, 1939. At a very young age, Rosie and her sister, Carol, were adopted by loving parents, L.C. and Laura Gray, of Burke Road in Wallace, Idaho. She grew up in the Wallace area and graduated from Wallace High School in 1957. She married Eldor Hinsz and they had two sons together. They resided in Woodland Park, in Wallace, for many years. Eldor passed away in 1990 and she later moved to Rathdrum, Idaho. Rosie worked for many years as a bookkeeper and civil employee for Shoshone County Courthouse.
