JACQUELINE (JACKIE) SMITH After a lengthy illness, Jacqueline (Jackie) Catharine Smith went to God on January 22, 2012 in her eighty-seventh year. Mom was predeceased by her father, Charles Dewey Smith, and her mother, Eva Smith, her sisters Isabel (Diddy) and Ann, her brother, Joseph, and her sons, Andrew and Jeffrey. Mom was, and remains the heart of our family. While her recent years had been plagued by declining health and mobility, her concerns were always centred around those she loved. Left to mourn are, her children Johnston, Stephen, Barbara, Dan (Kirstin) and Peter (Simone), and her grandchildren Tristan (Chantelle), Justin, Jillian, Joe, Erik and Luke. She is also mourned by her extended family Karen (Nick), Jane (Bill), Jackie (Dennis) and Kim. The family are grateful to the staff at Tuxedo Villa who cared for her for the past six months, especially to Helen and Diep who formed a special bond with Mom, to the staff of floors 4 and 5 at the Victoria Hospital, and to the numerous friends who visited her in those facilities. Mom's life included both joy and hardship. Whatever the situation, she always put her family first. Throughout her long life, she never lost her enjoyment of those around her, her ironic wit, and never became embittered. We will miss her terribly but will treasure her legacy of love. May she rest in the peace she so richly deserves. A funeral mass will be celebrated at St. John Brebeuf Parish, 1707 John Brebeuf Place, on Friday, January 27, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, you are asked to make a donation to a charity of your choice.

Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • We lived on Southport, one street over, and my brother Carl was best friends with your brother, Jeffrey, who died when we were all in Grade 4. Jeffrey had told my mother that he was going to heaven, the week he died, because he went to mass the first Friday of every month. I know that your mom now joins him! We visit Jeffrey's grave sometimes. I also connected with your mom when she worked at the desk of the Kinsman Rehfit Centre in the 1980s. Our condolences sent from Carl, Franz, and Anne Wolkenstein. Peace be with you. - Posted by: Anne Wolkenstein-Geall (Neighbour 1960's onward) on: Feb 07, 2012

  • On behalf of the staff at Riverview Day Hospital we would like to express our sincere condolences to Jackie's family. We are sorry about your loss. We enjoyed caring for her as a client at the Day Hospital and we have very fond memories of her visits to the program. We lovingly remember her wit. - Posted by: RHC Day Hospital Staff. (Past health care providers) on: Jan 26, 2012

  • Catherine knew her from only a couple of occasions, but for Terry, she was a joyful figure from the younger years of memory, and called him "Boo". Terry's grandchildren now call him "Ba". Jackie also figured into help through some of the more difficult times in Terry's teen years, and always engaged with love, understanding, gentleness, encouragement, and an ample dose of humour. Our sincere condolences to Johnny, Stephen, Barb, and other grieving family and friends. Our charitable contribution in Jackie's honour, will be to 'Palliative Care' in Brockville, Ontario.

  • Blessings on Jackie and on you, the family mourning her death. We will be in Halifax next week and look forward to sharing memories with Chum. Yes, your mom knew both "joy and hardship." Our faith tells us that now it is only JOY. Peace be with you. - Posted by: Srs Mildred Peterkin and Shelagh Deegan, RSCJ (Montreal) (Friends) on: Jan 26, 2012

  • Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your mom. We had many wonderful conversations on the telephone and I am really going to miss chatting with her. Durney & Evelyn - Posted by: Durney & Evelyn O'Reilly (friends) on: Jan 26, 2012
