Geneva Smith Obituary


G. ARLENE SMITH
1939 ˜ 2021

Geneva Arlene Stephens was born in 1939 in Port Townsend, WA, and lived most of her life in Vancouver. She graduated from Fort Vancouver High School in 1957 and married Bill L. Smith that same year. They lived in the Orchards area for many years. She was a production worker at Frito Lay until retirement. Arlene and Bill had four sons, David, Bill, Justin and Darren; and four grandchildren Samuel, Stephanie, Thayne and Theron. Also survived by stepbrother, Jimmy Fish; and many nieces and nephews.
She loved being a wife, mother and grandmother and was looking forward to becoming a great-grandmother. In her later years she also became deeply passionate about politics and the rights of seniors. She loved her dogs and loyal companions Fergie, Duke and Maggie.
She was cherished and will be greatly missed by her family. No funeral services at her request. A gathering of remembrance will be at a later date. [email protected] to be included. Arrangements by Hamilton Mylan Funeral Home www.hamiltonmylan.com.
