Roslyn SMITH Obituary

ROSLYN MARIE SMITH It is with deep sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Roslyn Marie Smith, on May 17, 2023. Roslyn was the cherished daughter of her late parents, Ross and Paula Smith; and sister of Lynne (Robert Jenkins). Roslyn was a wonderful, fun-loving woman, known for her quick wit, wicked sense of humour and naughty laugh, along with a dazzling smile. Her spirit was generous, her heart was big and her mind was sharp. She was also a devoted "Auntie Mame" to the children of her extended family and close friends. Over the years, her true love of travel took her around the world. She travelled across most of Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific and Kenya, as well as living in London and Sydney for a time. She was fearless and adventurous. In her earlier days, she was an avid skier and loved her yearly winter jaunts to Austria with her American ski pals; as well as spending some time in the French Alps, skiing in the afternoons, while mornings were devoted to school to brush up on her French. Roslyn enjoyed a successful career in human resources management. She was a strategic thinker, wise, and a great coach for those who sought her counsel, whether it be for business or personal reasons. Roslyn will be remembered and deeply missed by her family and myriad of friends around the world. Her warmth and charm built bridges of friendship. A Celebration of Life service for Roslyn will be held on July 18, 2023, at 11:00 a.m., followed by a reception at Morley Bedford Funeral Services, 159 Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto. In accordance with Roslyn's wishes, her ashes will be interred in the Smith family grave in Montreal, at Mt. Royal Cemetery in late August.

Roslyn hired me into BMO 24 years ago. She was a friend and confidante as I built my career and I trusted her advice and insight. She was also a valued member of a small, enduring group of friends where, at our gatherings, she'd catch us up on her adventures and listen to ours. She absolutely always made us laugh, both with her own stories and also with her perspectives on what the rest of us had been up to. Her absence will be felt deeply.

A truly wonderful lady. I was privileged to share a house with Ros in London in the '80s. I will always remember her effervescence, her sharp dry wit and joke sharing followed by a wry smile. Such a great buddy and so much fun to be with. Vale Ros.

So sad to think that Roslyn is no longer with us, and it still seems unreal to me. I was part of the Smith extended family and as such Ros was like a sister. She shared our fun of St Bruno stories, and could keep folks laughing with elementary school teacher impressions.
I always loved our `chats“...open and honest and we could just pick up where we left off, as if no time had passed.
Will miss you Ros.
