SMITH, Edna Hazel (nee Nutbrown)
Edna passed away Friday, August 3, 2012 at North Country Hospital, Newport, VT, with family and friends close by her side. She was born in Leeds Village, QC on November 22, 1923. She married Ernest Smith on July 3, 1943. No one had a greater love of life than mom… she loved her home, her family and her friends. She had the most amazing support group and circle of friends that hand carried her with love and encouragement. Her favourite hobby was dancing, and she dances whenever her legs allowed. When she was not dancing, she was making pickles and jams… all grown in her garden, or picked be herself and her friends. She was a pioneer living alone in an old farm house in Richmond, QC and promising her worried children that she would soon move to town. Edna is predeceased by her husband Ernest, her brother Alton and her sister Freda Raymond. She is survived by her 3 daughters; Judy (Donnie Johnston), Betty (Tom Horgan) and Alma (Stephen Marsh). She has 6 grandchildren; Cindy (Gary), Scott (Kelly), Barbie, Sherry (Ron), Shelly (Jim) and Laurie, several great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild. Edna was very involved in all the activities surrounding her home. She belonged to many groups, but the Richmond Hill Women’s Institute was her true favourite, and this small group worked very hard to keep the Richmond Hill Institute afloat for this remarkable woman. Visitation will be held at the Cass Funeral Home, 295 Principale S., Richmond, on Monday August 6th from 7 to 9 PM and on Tuesday from 10 to 10:45 AM. A funeral service will be held in St-Anne’s Anglican Church on Tuesday August 7th at 11:00 AM with Rev. Andrew O’Donnell officiating. Interment in St-Anne’s Cemetery. Donations to St-Anne’s Cemetery, c\o Raymond Lancaster, Apt 4, 273 Lorne Richmond, QC J0B 2H0 would be appreciated.
