Obituary of Mary Lee Smith

It is with broken hearts that the family announce the passing of Mary Lee Smith on December 18, 2020. Born on September 4, 1948, she was the daughter of the late Kenneth and Mary (Cameron) Moore. Mary Lee graduated from Stanley High School in 1967, after which she attended NB Teacher’s College, graduating in 1969. Her first teaching position was in Grand Bay, after which she supplied throughout the Fredericton and Oromocto areas. She loved to travel, but also enjoyed her time at home. Her rice pudding was renowned among her family. She will be deeply missed by her loving husband Michael Atkinson; children Brent (Amy) and Penny (Dave); grandson Ben; sister-in-law Frances; aunt Phyllis Bernard (Saint John); and best friend Judy (Johnston) Ross; as well as many friends and extended family. In addition to her parents, Mary Lee was predeceased by her brother Brian Moore and nephew Roger Moore. Due to COVID 19 restrictions, a celebration of Mary Lee’s life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a contribution to a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
