Pat is survived by Bob Smith, her husband of 49 years, her 4 children, Craig (Ling), Evelyn, Neil (Kate) and Sharon (Damian), and 6 grandchildren. She also leaves her brothers Ross, Eric and David (predeceased by Geordie).

 

Pat worked as a family doctor, first in Hawkesbury for 14 years and then for another 24 years with a very friendly and capable medical group in downtown Ottawa.

 

She enjoyed raising her 4 children while working as a family doctor. She especially enjoyed spending time with her family and good friends, as well as gardening, two book clubs, time at the cottage and travel with Bob, her family and friends. She will be missed by those who knew her. A celebration of her life will be held at Beechwood Cemetery; visitation from 9:00 a.m. -10:30 a.m. and the ceremony at 10:30 a.m on Wed. Aug. 26, 2026.

 

Donations in her memory may be made to Medicins sans Frontieres.

    While we never met, I feel like we did because Bob and I have been friends for some time. Moreover, our spouses have been in declining health for the past few years and we have tried to help each other through this journey. Bob, I hope that you and your family can take comfort from the great memories accumulated over the years and that your sorrow is soon replaced by pride and the warmth that only comes from love.

    I am very saddened to learn of Pat’s passing. Although I had not seen her in many years, I remember her as a truly special person — warm, thoughtful, and always genuinely interested in others.

    She devoted so many years of her life to caring for people as a family physician, and I can only imagine how many lives she touched throughout her career.

    She will clearly be remembered with great affection by so many whose lives she touched.

    Robert, my deepest condolences to you, your four children, and the entire family.
