With great sadness the family of De Etta Cecelia Smith announces her passing. De Etta was 86 years old and lived all her life in the Fraser Valley. She was the last surviving child of George Wesley Croaker and De Etta Alva Stolz. De Etta was predeceased by her loving husband Thomas Alexander, and siblings Edna, Lucella, Dorothy, Henry, Ernie and Louis. She was extremely proud of her children: Trudy (Karl), Joyce, Janet (Charlie) and Ron (Blanche) as well as grandchildren Hayley, Dr. Nicholas, Dr. Carmen, Eve, Brea, Vass and great grandchildren Joshua, Thomas, Alice, Isaac, Talia, Kristen, Jessie, Faith, Willow, Alexandria and Deighton.
Mom was a very kind, loving and generous person who welcomed many a relative into her home for scrumptious meals. De Etta was an amazing gardener, enjoyed sewing, caring for her home and family and ably managing kids, house and farm animals during Dad’s work commitments away from home. Mom and Dad provided a wonderful life for their children on the Mt. Lehman hobby farm. Both had a special interest in Canadian wildlife and local history. We miss them tremendously.
Tom and De Etta’s ashes will be joined together and laid to rest in Hazelwood Cemetery, Veteran’s Section, to honour Dad’s military service during World War II. A private graveside gathering will be held at a later date.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Smith De Etta Cecelia February 13 1932
