Sally Smith

November 7, 2024

Sally Smith passed away peacefully on November 7, 2024 at Victoria Hospital, London, at the age of 92 with family by her side, both near and far. Beloved and cherished mother to Cathy Olson (Mike), Brian Fright (Cheryl), Tom Fright (Sharon Jones), Cathy Smith (Joe Madziak) and Paul Smith. Loving Grandma to Jessie and Jake Olson, Shane Fright (Jacqueline), Sean Fright (Hien), Lisa Tissington (Michael), Spencer Fright and Claire Jones-Fright. Great-Grandma to David Tissington. Fondly remembered by ‘Sister Barb’ Fonfara (Harry) and several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her loving husband Erwin ‘EJ’ Smith.

Sally was blessed with many wonderful friends who will miss her dearly.

Sally was a long-time employee at the Faculty of Music at the University of Western Ontario. She was an active and dedicated member of the First-St. Andrew’s United Church Senior Choir and the U.C.W.  Sally found joy in her involvement with the Bridge Club (of 70 + years) and the Canadian Embroiderers’ Guild, London. Some of her talents included painting, sewing, needle work, crosswords and many more.

A memorial service will be held at First-St. Andrew’s United Church, 350 Queens Avenue, London on Friday, November 15, 2024 at 11:00 a.m., with a reception to follow.

Donations in Sally’s memory to the First-St. Andrew’s United Church – Friends of Music would be greatly appreciated by her and the family.

To say that Sally left a mark on the path of every person she connected with cannot be overstated.

Such a cheerful, friendly person. It was always fun to be in a class with Sally whether she was teaching or a fellow class member. She did beautiful work.

I send my sincere condolences during this time of deep sorrow. The Bible gives a comforting hope that your loved one will come to life again on a beautiful paradise earth when death will be no more in John 5:28, 29 and Acts 24:15.

Cathy and Cathy and all the Fright/Smith family please accept our condolences on the passing of Sally. I was always impressed with artistic ability and managed to wangle a few recipes from her that are now part of my repertoire. I hope your lifetime of memories give you much comfort. Betty x
