It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Helena Smith, wife of Stewart Smith of New Maryland. Helena passed away at the Saint John Regional Hospital on April 13, 2022 from a brain bleed. Her greatest love was her family who depended on her heavily. Helena was a long-time employee of the New Maryland Elementary School and then later the Liverpool Elementary School and was an active member of the Nasonworth Baptist Church. Helena was a gentle spirit who avoided the limelight but was loyal and dependable at everything she did. Her kind heart and common sense made an incredible impact on her family.

Helena is survived by her husband, Stewart of 58+ years; her daughters, Tania (Larry) Whitlock, Carol (David) Clerke; her son, Scott Smith; her grandchildren: Katrina Whitlock, Elijah Clerke, Suzanna Whitlock, Joshua Clerke, Trajan Smith, and Veronica Smith; her sister, Darlene Alexander; and numerous nephews, and nieces. She was predeceased by her parents, Hayden, and Bessie Barker; her daughter, Carmen; and brother, Glenwood (Betty); sister-in-law, Elene Mott (Edward); her nephews, Jonathan Alexander, and Kirke Smith; and her brother-in-law, Horace Alexander.

The funeral will be held at Nasonworth Baptist Church on Tuesday, April 19 at 2:00 pm with visitation on Monday 4 pm-8 pm. The family has requested attendees wear a mask.
