Marion Smith

Marion Smith passed away peacefully at Caressant Care in Listowel on Sunday, April 23, 2023, at the age of 95.

 

The beloved wife of the late Harvey Smith (2021), to whom she was married for 72 years, Marion was the loving mother of Ron (Susan) Smith, Brenda (Ken) Bast, Donna (Steve) Wells, Lorrie (Keith) Traves. She was the cherished grandmother of Sherry (Sean), Ryan (Tracy), Angie (Cam), Mike (Colene), Matt (Morgan), Chancey, Adam (Lisa) and Aleisha (Michael) and special great-grandma of Bryn, Talia, Hannah, Holden, Haelyn, Winston, Edwin, Delilah, Meyer, Paige, Addison, Olivia, Ava, Maxwell, Jack and Molly. 

 

Marion is survived by her sister Bonnie Gmelin. She was predeceased by her parents, Sam and Mary Pake, sister Helen Barker and brother Allan Pake. Marion will be fondly remembered by the Smith family and many nieces and nephews. 

 

Marion will be remembered for her beautiful knitting, crochet and other sewing projects. She was also a great cook and baker. Nothing pleased her more than creating a full course meal for her family and friends and ending the night with a game of cards.
She also loved to travel in their camper van and camp with family and friends. She also loved fishing and snowmobiling.

 

Cherished memories were made with her family and friends at their cottage in Point Clark, which they owned for over 50 years.
Marion and Harvey had a large, wonderful circle of friends known as “The Crew”.

 

Friends and family will be gathering at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Ethel, on Saturday, May 13 at 11 a.m. for a celebration of life service. After the service, a luncheon will be served at 12:30 p.m. at the Brussels Legion to shed a few tears and share memories, laughs and stories of a wonderful person who will be missed dearly.
