Pauline Catherine Smith

After a long struggle with dementia, this classy and elegant lady has made her heavenly debut. Pauline joins her parents, Anthony and Apolonia Nelischer; her infant son, Joseph; sisters and brothers, Lee, Rosalie, Joe, John, Stefan and son-in-law Joe.

She is survived by her loving family: devoted husband of 68 years, Frank; children; Theresa, Gerard (Janice), Audrey, Trish (Larry), Michael (Yvonne), Brenda (Russ), David, Gary (Betty Jean), Sheila (Michael), Graham (Michele), Val (Paul), Chris; grandchildren; Jason, Matthew, Brandon (Ashley), Lara, Alyssa, Torie, Conor, Nicholas, Brad, Lucas, Lexi; great granddaughter, Olivia; sisters; Anne and Gloria (Gordon).

Pauline dedicated her life to her family. She was a fabulous cook who made the kitchen a happy place. She enjoyed music, bridge, crocheting, knitting, curling, traveling and was a big fan of the Edmonton Eskimos. The Smith house was always full of neighbourhood children and the many friends she and Frank had.

Sincere thanks to special caregivers at Allen Gray, the wonderful medical team at Grey Nuns Unit 53, and angels, Arsenia, Marilyn, Denise and Lou.

Funeral Mass will take place Friday, March 17,2017 at 11:00 am at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, 210 Haddow Close, Edmonton, AB.
