Irene Elizabeth Smith, passed away at home in Toronto on October 17, 2023 at the age of 77 after a long and courageous battle with heart disease and cancer. She is predeceased by her parents the late Roy and Jennie Smith and her late brothers Brian Smith and David Smith. She is survived by many friends who miss her dearly. Irene is fondly remembered for her great sense of humour, intelligence, resilience, out-of-the-box thinking, and passion for helping others. As per Irene’s wishes cremation has taken place and instead of a traditional funeral a private tribute in her honour will be held at a later time.

In lieu of flowers, the following are a few options for your consideration. Please feel free to choose whatever feels right to you as any of these would be greatly appreciated:
*Donation in her memory to the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto, where she volunteered
*Helping a friend or stranger in need as she often did
*Light a candle and say a prayer in her memory.
