In Loving Memory of
Cecile Madeleine Smith
(Maiden: Bruyere)

of Grande Prairie, Alberta
March 23, 1951 - October 22, 2024

It is with broken hearts and tears in our eyes that we announce the passing of our Mom, Grandma, Sister, and Aunt, Cecile Madeleine Smith, on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, at home in Grande Prairie, AB, at the age of 73 years.

Mom was born to Lucien and Cecile Bruyere. She was welcomed into the family by 15 brothers and sisters on March 23, 1951, in McLennan, AB.

She had 3 children and 1 grandson. Her biggest joy was being her grandson Eric’s number one cheerleader as he pursued his dreams. Mom could often be found with Mash on TV and a good book in her hand.

Left to keep her memories alive are her daughter Tracy; son Dwayne (Angelé); her pride and joy grandson Eric (Kara); brother Vic and his children; sisters: Jeanne and her children, Claire (Ron) and their children, and Denise (Roy) and their children; as well as many nieces and nephews from siblings that passed before her. She will be surely missed by her two fur grandbabies Kelsie and Gizmo.

Cecile was predeceased by her infant son Sheldon, ex-husband and best friend Reid, her parents Lucien and Cecile Bruyere; sisters: Lucienne, Lea, Eva, Giselle, Cora, Rita, and Mary-Paule; brothers Omer, Marcel, Lionel, and Aime.

As per Mom’s request there will be no funeral. There will be a Memorial Luncheon on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, from 11:00am- 3:00pm, at the Grande Prairie Museum, and Heritage Village in Muskoseepi Park in Grande Prairie, AB (10329 101 Ave.).

Memorial donations may be made to Diabetes Canada (#220, 6223 2 St. SE, Calgary, AB, T2H 1J5).
