SMILLIE, Josephine Ann (Jo). Passed away peacefully on 7th September 2026. Beloved mother of Michael, Kathy, and Kirsten. A devoted Gma and Great Gma to her treasured grandchildren, and a wonderful friend to many. Jo's infectious smile lit up every room she walked into. She will be missed beyond words.

A private cremation is taking place. We look forward to celebrating Jo's life together once her family members return from overseas. Details will be shared in due course.
