Katherine “Tootsie” Smith age 90 of Wayne died Wednesday, December 26, 2007 peacefully, after a lengthy illness and while surrounded by her loving family, at home.
She was born and raised on Muller Place in the Singac section of Little Falls having moved to Wayne fifty-seven years ago.
Tootsie is best described as an eclectic collector. She has collected a myriad of items including: buttons, matchbooks, fountain pens, hats, badges, dolls, fishing and hunting licenses just to name a few.
She was often seen as a “tough as nails, been there, done that person” but in reality she had a huge, generous, loving soft heart.
Katherine loved her grandchildren and enjoyed a good joke. She also enjoyed her vegetable and flower gardens immensely and had an overall appreciation and respect for nature.
She had a loving and feisty marriage of sixty-one years to Richard P. Smith, Sr., loving mother of Rosemary Santini of Panther Valley, Arlene Fallon and her husband Jim of Kunkletown, PA, Richard P. Smith, Jr. and his wife Sue of Bloomingdale and Kathy Conner of Palm Bay, FL; cherished grandmother of nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was the loving sister of John, George, Anna, Mary and Lillian who all predeceased her.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Passaic Valley Hospice, 783 North Riverview Drive, Totowa, NJ 07512 would be appreciated.
