Smiley, Edith Mary

(nee Shennan)

Peacefully on Monday, February 18, 2019 at the age of 94.  Beloved wife of the late Sleaman “Sam” Smiley. Loving mother of Ian (Eleanor), Bruce, and Warren (Barbara). Proud grandmother of Roseanne, Dillon, Marina, and Sheena Smiley.  Dear sister of Betty Shennan (dec.), Elsie Cowell (nee Shennan), Ruth Leach (nee Shennan) (dec.), and Grace Shennan (dec.)

Edith will be fondly remembered for her kindness and generosity, her sense of humour, and her strength in raising her family alone after her husband passed away. She was also noted for her chic personal style and her highly successful entertaining.
