Peacefully with her family by her side at the Temiskaming District Hospital on Friday, April 22, 2022, Blanche Aurore Smith (née Léveillé) of North Cobalt passed away at the age of 78. Loving wife of Louis Smith for 59 years. Beloved mother of Ronald (Suzanne) Smith, Carole (Steve) Langford, Simon (Azra) Smith and Marco (Shäna) Smith. Survived by her grandchildren Tanya (Dean), Bradley (Julie), Jonathan (Lesley), Jessica (Steve), Karine, Emma-Rose, Nikolas, Sebastien, Eliana, Isabelle and great-grandchildren Jackson, Jordyn and Sloane. Dear sister of the late François (Lucille), the late Damien (Marie), the late Laurette (George), Juliette (Philippe), Lilianne (the late George), Raymond (Suzanne), Denis (Ginette), Nicole (Patrick), Alphonse (Denise), Claudette (Gary), Bernard, Leonard (Patty), Daniel (Francine) and Claire (Michel). Blanche was predeceased by her parents Ludovic and Alice. Forever remembered by her many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. Blanche was most happy surrounded by her family. She was the ultimate nurturer, with a knack for knowing everyone’s likes, dislikes, needs and wants. She loved cooking nourishing meals, baking delicious desserts, as well as canning and pickling preserves from their garden. Blanche loved spending time at their cottage, relaxing and enjoying the scenery. But mostly, she loved playing cards and dice games with her loved ones. The family would like to thank Dr. Colleen Davies and the wonderful staff at Temiskaming District Hospital for the exceptional care they provided to Blanche, as well as the staff at the Community Care Access Center and Closing the Gap. Cremation has taken place at Lakeview Crematorium, Haileybury. Friends will be received at Buffam Leveille Funeral Home 705-672-3122 on Tuesday, April 26th from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.
