Shauna Heidi Smith passed into her heavenly home on Nov. 6, 2021, after a 10 day battle with a reoccurrence of prior cancer and rare blood disorder.
Shauna’s untimely departure occurred after recently turning forty and before her planned marriage on Dec. 4, 2021.
Shauna is survived by her beloved eight-year-old daughter Colette, parents, Gary and Heidi Smith, brother Kevin Smith married to Connie and daughters Aspyn and Sayler, sister Amanda married to Aric Hanegraaff, son Arie and newborn daughter Adaley, her fiancee David Arnoldink and Grandmother Jean Boersma.

She is dearly missed by this close-knit family, her precious daughter and loving fiancee as well as many extended Canadian and American family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting financial gifts be put towards the furtherance of Shauna’s wishes for her beloved daughter Colette. Cheques can be written to Amanda Smith or Kevin Smith.
