It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Penny Smith (nee Wedgbury) on March 9th, 2025, after a brief but complicated battle with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. She passed away surrounded by loved ones, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, dedication, and love.
Penny was born in England and moved to Canada as a young girl, where she made a life filled with love, purpose, and community. She was a devoted wife to Barry, loving mother to Aynsley, and a doting nanny to Bennett and Logan. Penny was an independent and smart woman, with a passion for working and volunteering within the nonprofit sector. She began her career as Program Director at both the Oshawa Senior Citizens and later the YWCA, where she made lasting contributions to her community. As an Executive Director at Information Oshawa, WindReach Farm, and CARD, Penny was known for her unwavering dedication to her work. She was not afraid to make tough decisions when needed and led with both compassion and clarity, leaving an immeasurable impact on her community. Penny constantly challenged herself, always striving to grow, learn, and improve in all areas of her life. Known for her incredible laugh, classic eye roll, and “shooting from the hip” honesty, Penny was a loyal friend with a strong will and a generous heart.
Brave and adventurous, Penny took risks throughout her life, including traveling alone to Singapore to meet her first grandson, Bennett. She loved creating special moments for her family, whether cooking Sunday roast dinners or cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays and Maple Leafs. Her infectious spirit and warmth will be remembered by all who knew her.
Penny’s love for her family was boundless, and her spirit will live on in the memories she leaves behind. We’ve decided that whenever we see a blue jay, we will think of her visiting—her love and spirit will always be with us. Penny is survived by her husband, Barry; daughter, Aynsley; daughter-in-law, Katelyn; grandchildren, Bennett and Logan; and many dear friends and family.
As per Penny’s wishes, there will be no public service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Penny’s memory to the Community Association for Riders with Disabilities, an organization close to her heart.
Even though you’re no longer here, the love you shared with us endures, a cherished reminder of your presence in our lives.
