Obituary of Stephanie Laurence Smith

With her family and friends at her side, passed away peacefully at University Hospital on Monday, December 29, 2014 in her 39th year. During her years spent with us, she touched many lives and souls as a teacher, and her presence in our life is a gift we will always be thankful for. Stephanie is survived by her husband and the love of her life Gary Fredrick Smith; her proud and unconditionally loving parents James Lawrence Bezeau and Sylvie Pauline Quimper Bezeau; her beloved brother Alain Fredrick Bezeau and sister-in-law Bernadette Marie Leveille; her grandmother Joyce Mary Bezeau (Nana); her loving mother and father-in-law Lynda and Fred Smith; her admired brother and sister-in-law Trevor and Lisa Smith and their children Parker and Brennen Smith. She is also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins and so many great friends. Stephanie will be missed by so many and words cannot begin to express our loss. Thank you to all our wonderful friends and family who have been so supportive over the past days. A memorial celebration of life will be held on Friday, January 30, 2015. Please join us in honouring and celebrating the life of Stephanie Smith at Crossings Pub, Friday January 30. 1269 Hyde Park Rd. We will meet in an open house format anytime between 6-11pm to share stories, memories and laughter. There will be live music by Justin Plet, playing all of Steph’s favourite songs.
