Smiley, Eunice – of Truro, formerly of Shubenacadie, passed away Saturday, September 18, 2021.

Born in Middle Musquodoboit, she was a daughter of the late Florence and Earl Langille and mother to Bruce and Darlene. She was sister to Roy, Jessie, Don, and Donna and was predeceased by her husband of 66 years, Ray and her sister, Edie. Eunice was Nana to her beloved grandchildren, Jessica, Ryan, Joanna, Lindsey, and Jo Anna (Walsh); as well as great-grandmother to Aujrina, Jewel, Ava, Clara, and Ivy; and aunt and great-aunt to several nieces and nephews.

Eunice was a hairdresser and bank teller in her work life but her passion in life centered around the love for her family and close friends. Throughout her life she enjoyed family gatherings and picnics, playing cards and all kinds of games, dances, and travelling with her close friends, Harold and Noreen.

Special thanks to the staff at Parkland Truro for providing tremendous caring support for Eunice through a difficult transition period. Also special thanks to the professional and compassionate staff at East Cumberland Lodge for the excellent care and companionship provided when family couldn’t be there over these past two years.

A Celebration of Life will follow at a later date.
