Mavis Smith

Mavis (Morris) SMITH
1934 - 2025

Mavis passed away peacefully in her sleep at home, after a long illness, on August 9, 2025. She was 91.
She leaves her husband of 68 years Lindsay, daughters Robin, Janice (Clement) and Kelly, granddaughters Sarah (Hugues) and Julie, a cousin, nieces and nephews and families, brother-in-law Eric (Diane) and family, and friends near and far who are like family.
Mavis was born in Montreal and trained as a registered nurse at the Montreal General Hospital. She met Lindsay through a fellow nurse and friend from Stanstead.
Their lives revolved around family and friends, traveling all across Canada and the U.S. with their girls. Mavis worked for a time at the Orleans County Hospital in Newport, Vt. She taught Kelly to read and volunteered at Kelly's school, at the local Red Cross, and also at the ACW and Guild of Christ Church, Stanstead.
She cared for and supported Kelly her whole life and baby-sat her granddaughters.
She loved her flower garden, summers at Seymour Lake in Vermont, afternoons baking and making jams and relish, snowmobiling, and sugaring with friends, and Sunday drives.
A special thank you to the palliative care team, including Dr. Alarie, Viny, Marjolaine, Brittany, Kylie, and especially Karina, and others for their compassionate care.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, August 30 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Christ Church Hall, 548 Dufferin St., Stanstead. A private burial will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, we would ask for donations to the Foundation of Prader Willi Syndrome Research Canada, 9-13085 Yonge Street, Suite 370, Richmond Hill, ON, L4E 0K2, or Activity Fund of the Maison des Ainés in Coaticook, 203, rue Jeanne-Mance, Coaticook, QC, J1A 1W4, where Kelly now lives.
