Beatrice C. Smith Obituary

Beatrice C Smith of Dobbs Ferry passed away peacefully Saturday at home surrounded by her loving and devoted family. Mrs Smith was born in Hastings-on-Hudson on December 5, 1926 to Beatrice and John Condon. While working at ABC Television, she met and subsequently married Charles M Smith Jr. at St. Matthew's RC Church on October 4, 1953 where she remained a lifelong member until her passing. They were married for 54 years before Charles preceded her in death on February 15, 2008. She was beloved mother to Robert (Maria), Brian (Kathleen), Michael and Lisa (Antoine De Cazotte). Cherished grandmother to Bridget, Brian Thomas, Christine, Sean and Terry and great grandmother to Carter. Beloved sister to John Condon who predeceased her in 2006. Bea is survived by numerous nieces and nephews. Bea's greatest passion was her love of gardening which was inspired by watching her father tend to the grounds at the Burke Estate in Hastings as a child. People would go out of their way each summer to see what botanical artistry she created at her home of 57 years in Dobbs Ferry. Later in life, Bea became an ardent fan of the New York Yankees and could often be seen sporting her various Yankee caps while cheering on her personal favorite, Derek Jeter. Her generous nature, compassion, warmth, humor and zest for life will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her. A visitation for Beatrice will be held at Edwards-Dowdle Funeral Home, 64 Ashford Avenue, Dobbs Ferry on Thursday from 5-8pm. Funeral Mass, St. Matthew's RC Church, Hastings, will be held at 10 am on Friday. Burial to immediately follow at Mt. Hope Cemetery.
