Effie Smith

Effie Smith passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 30, 2016 surrounded by family in Moose Jaw hospital at the age of 90. Effie was predeceased by her beloved daughter Gayle; loving husband of 65 years, Lionel; dear sister Margaret; brothers Albert and Ray. Effie is survived by sons; Wayne (Judith), Greg (Barb) and Dean (Rhonda); son-in-law Bob; eight grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren; and sisters-in-law Marion and Dorothy. Effie took care of her family her whole life and always said that she never retired from that. Effie was a delight to all who met her and made friends where ever she went. She enjoyed winters in Texas for 25 years before finally settling in Moose Jaw from Indian Head. Effie moved to Moose Jaw to be near her Saskatchewan family but soon found out why Moose Jaw is the friendly city. After several years in apartments Effie moved into the Bentley and finally Chez Nous Senior Citizens Home. In both she made fast friends and was so well cared for by staff. She spent many hours talking on the phone to family and friends far and wide including one to two hours every night with her sister until her recent passing. Almost all of Effie’s family were able to attend her 90th birthday party in October and she was overjoyed with the celebration. Effie’s family would like to thank the staff at the new Moose Jaw hospital for their skilled and compassionate care of our mother and grandmother. A private family service will be held in May. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Salvation Army, 175 1st Ave NE, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 0Y9.
