Obituary of Valerie Jean Smeaton

Valerie Jean Smeaton (nee Waterman). It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear mother, sister, and friend, Val, who passed away on December 11, 2022, with her family by her side. Val was born on March 19, 1957, in Port Blandford, Newfoundland and is predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Gertrude Waterman, and sister Annette. She will be forever remembered by her sister and best friend Pauline (Aaron, Erin Mae, Sean) and her brothers Arthur and Jack. She will be deeply missed by her children John (Wendy), Christina (Robert), and Robert (Crystal). She was a cherished, devoted, and proud nanny to Shona, Grayson, and Melinda. Her grandchildren were her greatest joy in life, and she loved spending time with them. She will also be dearly missed by her friends and extended family including Mike and Melinda Lussier, Mike and Pamela Oliver, and Brenda Wightman. Val was incredibly smart and creative and loved gardening and crocheting. Despite life’s many and seemingly endless challenges including her recent battle with cancer, Val never lost her sense of humour and sass, she was a source of light and laughter to those who knew her and will be sadly missed but never forgotten. As per Val’s request, cremation will take place with a private family celebration planned for Summer of 2023. Arrangements entrusted to Simple Choice Cremation (Dougall). 519-254-2585.
