Obituary for Simone Christine "'Pinky'" Smith ( nee Graveline)
SMITH, Simone Christine 'Pinky' ( née Graveline)
Our hearts are broken, to announce the passing of Simone Christine Smith 'Pinky' ( née Graveline) on Saturday, May 7, 2022 at KGH. Simone joins our infant children, Jason and Celine, her sister Thelma, mother Agnes and father Joseph Dominia in Heaven.
Survived by Don, loving husband of 45 precious years. She was a devoted loving mother to Katrina (Christian) and Nanny to Luca and Dominic. She leaves behind brothers Edward, Gerald (Barbara), Maurice (Lenore), Michael (Marjorie), Paul (Lynn) and sister Donna, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends here and across Canada.
Simone spent many years as an OR nurse at KGH but is perhaps best remembered as a pillar of the Figure Skating and Dance community as the first owner of ABA Skate & Dance Den. She was passionate about her business and poured many hours into providing excellent service as well as crafting beautiful costumes for her customers.
After retiring she enjoyed numerous trips across the country in the RV and especially loved camping on the shores of Lake Superior and the Rockies.
The family would like to send heartfelt love and affection to the staff of KGH-ICU, Davies 4 and Connell 3 for their devoted care these past months. Also, Michelle, Simone's ‘roomie’ devoted friend for such a short time. In keeping with Simone’s wishes there will be a Celebration of her beautiful life will be held on Sunday, May 29, 2022 from 2-5pm at Zorbas 1474 Bath Road, Kingston, Ontario with refreshments being served. Wear something pink for 'Pinky'. Memorial donations to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation, Suite#4-55 Rideau Street Kingston, Ontario K7K 2Z8 would be appreciated by the family.
