SMITH (NEE BURT), Sylvia Elizabeth

Sylvia Elizabeth Smith (nee Burt)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sylvia Burt Smith on October 4, 2024, at age 89, peacefully at the D’Youville Hospital. Sylvia was one of six children born to Harry and Clarissa Burt in Coaticook, QC.

She was the beloved wife to the late Garth Smith for 61 years and loving mother to Kimball (Lisa Welden), Jocelyn (Paul Bélanger) and Vicki (Andrew Ochman). She will always be remembered as a fond grandmother by Andrew (Taylor Poelman), Lindsay (Cooper Wilde), Ryan (Camille Martinez), Frédérik (Alice Berteyac), Anthonny (Amanda Marrocco), Jessica (Thompson McCallum), Jason (Michelle Godin) and Devon (Yanina Chukhovich). Great-grandmother to Azalée, Grady and Charlie. Dear sister to John of Wiarton ON. Predeceased by Audrey of Toronto ON, Marion of Dartmouth NS, Robert of London ON and Ralph of Guelph ON.

Sylvia and her siblings all graduated from Bishop’s University. She was an accomplished athlete captaining Bishop’s Women’s basketball and a successful golfer, competing on Provincial teams and winning the Québec Senior championship. Hobbies included curling, reading, bridge, gardening, painting and collecting.

The family thanks the staff at D’Youville, the CLSC for their professional care and Cass Funeral homes.

Please join us for a celebration of life on Saturday, December 7, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the Old Lennoxville Golf Club.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Lennoxville Curling Club or a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
