Mrs Irene Margaret Smart

1953 – 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Irene Margaret Kenneth (nee Smart) in her 71st year. Irene spent many years out west, living primarily in Canbrook, BC with her beloved husband Bob and precious dog Amber.
Irene recently returned to her heart home, The Eastern Townships and resided with her sister Norma Stickles and family. Irene’s last few years with the Stickles Family were filled with love, laughter, children and grandchildren.
Irene is survived by her mother Mera Smart-MacLeod, her four sisters Susan (Randy Baker), Mhairi (Steve Rowland), Joanne (Paul Hayes) and Norma (Brian Stickles) as well as many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the staff of the Centre Hospitalier Université de Sherbrooke, Neurology Department for their care and support.
Donations in Irene’s name can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada Alzheimer Society of Canada

Irene
I am so sad to read Irene’s obituary. We met at St. Helen’s School, Dunham as classmates in lower fourth (grade 8). We were good friends for the year that Irene was there. We reconnected a few years ago on the Eastern Townships Roots Facebook page. It was really nice to chat to each other as adults. Irene was so excited about her new puppy. I am so sorry for the loss of Irene. 💗Susan (Peck) McMurtry

The Ross family (Norman) would like to extend our sincere condolences to the Smart family on the passing of dear Irene. I have fond memories of her visiting us for Christmas? In the 70’s in Stouffville, Ontario. I remember my parents setting out ashtrays for her visit lol but she was quite a character! And then at the reunion in 2005 where many “Ross” family members gathered in Gabriela, BC. I trust she is with the Lord and is at eternal peace. God bless! ps, my middle name is also Margaret :)Catherine De Jong nee Ross

Sincere Condolences
Irene and her sister Susan knew my sister Betsy O'Boyle who died in 2000. I really only encountered Irene recently when she friended me on Facebook. I imagine that she knew at the time that she was ill, and she must have been reconnecting with old friends and acquaintances.I extend my deepest sympathies to the family for your loss.
