SMITH (Clarke), Miriam "Anne"

Died April 10, 2024 in Halifax. Born on February 28, 1935 in Moncton, NB to the late Helen (Lutz) and Charles Clarke. Anne graduated from Moncton High School in 1951 and entered the Saint John General School of Nursing in 1953, graduating in February 1956 with her R.N. That same year she met Ev, who had just graduated from Dalhousie Medical School. They fell in love and were married the following year - it was to last 65 years. Anne worked at both the Moncton City Hospital and the Saint John General Hospital. Ev's practice and studies kept them moving over the next several years, including two years in Germany. With their three daughters, they eventually settled in Halifax where Ev was a practicing psychiatrist until his retirement in 1991. Survived by daughters Sharon Smith (Dan Hutt), Dartmouth; Pamela Smithstrong (Bob Cameron), Musquodoboit Harbour; Beverley Smith, Hornby Island, BC. As well, five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and a number of nieces and nephews. Also very special unofficially adopted daughters Loretta Halleran and Huwaida Medani. She was predeceased by her husband Everett A. Smith, her brother Randolph Clarke and halfsisters Elizabeth (Seaman) Cameron and Margaret (Seaman) Moreash, also halfbrothers (Clarke) Chester, William, Garnett, Gerald, Peter and Russell. Cremation by J.A. Snow Funeral Home has taken place and to honour Anne's wishes there will be no visitation or service. We are extremely grateful for the compassionate care by the nursing team on 8.3 of the Infirmary ,QEII and a very special dedicated doctor to mom, Dr. Eric Fraunberger.
