Joanne L. Smith (nee Gardner) Age 92

Beloved wife of the late Eugene W. Smith.

Devoted mother of Lisa (Keith) Dobrolinsky, Julie White and Teri (Patrick) O'Sullivan.

Adored great-grandmother of Mason and Brayden.

Cherished daughter of the late Joseph W. and Anne Gardner.

Dear sister of the late Nancylee (late Dennis) Casola and the late Wayne (Judy) Gardner.
