Obituary of Patricia Smith

Our precious Patricia Lee Smith, adoring wife to Morris, passed away at Grey Nuns Community Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, on July 3, 2022. Pat’s health declined very suddenly, eventually succumbing to complications resulting from abdominal blood clotting. 

Pat was born on July 25, 1949, to Archie and Aileen Pirie.

Pat is survived by: her loving husband, Morris; her four sons: Derek (Roxanne) and their children, Courtnee, Tyler (Brooklyn), Kaitlyn (Jeff) and Quinn; Brent (Christy) and their daughters, Rachel, Carlyn and Danielle;  Aaron (Sarah) and their sons, Bennett and Connor; and Chad (Brooke) and their children, Jaxon, Rowan & Maeve; She is also survived by: her brother, Vaughn (Louise) Pirie; her mother-in-law, Marjorie Smith; and several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Elwood (Linda) Smith, Barry (Deb) Smith, Wes (Michele) Smith, Marilyn (Jan) van der Velden, Eldeen (Dan) Borys and Kent Smith; Pat will also be lovingly remembered by numerous nieces and nephews, as well as many close friends who adored her as much as her family did. 

Pat was predeceased by: her parents, Archie and Aileen Pirie; her father-in-law, Lorne Smith; and brother-in-law, Doug Smith. 

Pat was better known to our family as “Nana”.  She was our safe place to land, no matter what or where.  Our lives were all better because of her and there will forever be a huge void in our hearts.  Her greatest gifts were her children and grandchildren, and her love will live on in the hearts of them all.  Fly high sweet Nana, we love you beyond measure and will miss you beyond words.
