June Avis Smith – 86, Truro, passed away peacefully, with her family by her side, on Wednesday afternoon, November 23, 2022, at The Mira Long Term Care Centre, Truro. Born in Greenfield, Colchester County, she was a daughter of the late Harry and Rosalie (MacKenzie) Patton.

June loved the Lord and it was her joy to serve Him as a loving wife and mother. Being a Registered Nurse was a dream fulfilled for June and her love and concern for others continued throughout her life. Playing the piano and organ, and singing, were a great pleasure that she willingly shared with others and learning to play the violin in later life was a challenge she took on with gusto.

June is survived by her children, Heather Smith, Wolfville; Marcia Smith (Ken Chisholm), Hantsport; brothers, Morris Patton, Truro; Everil (Margaret) Patton, Bible Hill; four grandchildren; many great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Alvin Simeon "Bud" Smith; daughter, Margaret Ann Smith; brother, Russell (Marjorie) Patton.

June’s family would like to thank the staff of The Mira for the friendship, love and care they have provided June over the past four and a half years! You have not gone unnoticed!
