Peacefully after a brief battle with cancer Mum passed away on March 8, 2025 in her 91st year.
She was predeceased by her husband Jim, daughter Karen, father J.C. (Kelly) and mother Irene Williamson.
She is survived by her daughter Colleen Smith (Ron Almdal); son Norman Smith; son Lorne Smith; daughter Diane Kilcollins (Peter); daughter Sherril Smith; granddaughters Kendal (Richard), Crystal (Nick), Kaitlin (Scott); great grandchildren Sadie & Tobias; brother Alan (Marianne) and their family.
Mum was a very giving mother who loved family and friends. She devoted her life to her husband Jim, raising their 6 children and caring for Karen’s health and well-being throughout her life.
We thank the nurses at the Victoria Hospital for their care and to Dr. Penner for his impeccable bedside manner when he informed Mum of her diagnosis. We also want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Blom and the staff at Riverview 2 West for their incredible care and compassion throughout this very difficult time. In addition, we thank Rick at Interlake Cremation & Memorial Service for his outstanding service.
As per Mum’s wishes cremation has taken place and there will be a private family interment at a later date.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba or a charity of your choice.

Sincere condolences to the Smith family.
Your Mom was a treasure. She will definitely be missed. 💔
Beryl was always a generous and kind caring neighbor for over 30 yrs and will be greatly missed. It was always great in the summers when we were out doing yard work in the front which would usually turn into a neighborhood chat. We always
admired how her and her daughter Karen would laugh and interact doing yard work together. They were always entertaining to talk to along with her husband Jim who I spent many times on the front steps with. All fond memories.
She was a great lady and will be sadly missed.
Our sincere condolences to the whole family on your loss of this special lady.
So sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing Diane. Our thoughts are with you and Peter at this time.
