SMITH, Nellie Margaret March 2, 1922 - February 27, 2014


It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Nellie Smith at Health Sciences North, Sudbury Ontario after a brief illness. Nellie is predeceased by her twin sister- Beatrice Gorham (Hanmer), sister - Marion Griffith, brother- Jim Smith, and nephew Blake Smith.

Nellie is survived by niece Jean Carpenter (Jim) of Ancaster, Ontario, nephew Robert Griffith (Belinda) of Summerland, BC , and niece Ellen Bruce (David) of Maple Ridge, BC. Nellie was loved as a Grandmother by Ellen's children - Robert and Mary and Robert's son, Keith and was known to them as "Nanny".

Also survived by long time friend and, for the past two years, care giver Elizabeth McFarlane who was there for her when she needed her most.

Nellie was born in Gore Bay, and moved to Sudbury as a young woman. Most of her working years were spent with the Federal Government, primarily in the Unemployment Insurance office until her retirement in 1987. In her younger years, she was involved in sports such as badminton, tennis, golf and curling and joined the Idylwylde Club where she was an avid golfer and curler. She continued to enjoy following these sports long after she was no longer able to participate.

Nellie will be deeply missed and will remain in our hearts forever.
