Smith- Peacefully surrounded by her loving family at St. Joseph’s Hospice in Sarnia on Thursday November 12, 2026. Janet Jacqueline Smith (nee Haire), age 79 years of Corunna and formerly of Mooretown. Much loved wife of 57 years to Oliver Smith. Cherished and devoted mother of Brenda Lee Toner (Paul), David Smith (Pam) and Douglas Smith. Janet was a deeply devoted grandmother to Julia, Jenna, Amelia, and Carson. She was the much loved sister of Basil Haire (Mary), Joe Haire (Kerry), Cecil Haire (Lynn), Brian Haire (Michelle), Leo Haire, Lorraine Harding (Dennis), Corrine Painter (Steve) and sister-in-law of Elsie Lumley. Janet will be lovingly remembered by several nieces, nephews, extended family and many cherished lifelong friends. She was predeceased by; her parents, John and Stella Haire; her step-mother, Teresa Haire and by her brother-in-law, Donald Lumley. Born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Janet carried the warmth, resilience and generous spirit of her East Coast Roots with her throughout her life. In 1967, she packed a bag for what was meant to be a visit to see a dear friend in Ontario. Fate, however had other plans. Falling in love with both her new surroundings and the love of her life, Oliver, she decided to stay, planting deep roots and building a wonderful life in Ontario. A woman of lifelong Christian faith, she was raised in the Catholic faith, and later became devoted to the Presbyterian Church, where she found a welcoming community and a deep spiritual home. She was a dedicated and involved member of her community, and a tireless volunteer for L.C.D.S. where she formed meaningful connections and lifelong friendships. Above all, Janet’s greatest joy was the love that she shared with her family. As a deeply involved and doting mom and grandma, Janet held a special place at the very heart of her 3 children and 4 grandchildren’s lives. She will be deeply missed by all those fortunate enough to have known and loved her. As the family fondly remembers Janet, they wish to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. MacSweeney for her compassionate care, and to the wonderful staff at St. Joseph’s Hospice and Petrolia Hospital. Friends will be received at the Knight Funeral Home, 588 St. Clair Parkway, Corunna on Friday November 20, 2026 from 4 -6 p.m. where a funeral service will be held at 11a.m. Saturday with Rev.
