Sally is predeceased by her husband of 60 years Peter Siermacheski (2015), and her son Robert (2011). Sally is also predeceased by her parents Anton and Jean (Indzeoski) Smood and her siblings Anne (Mike) Fay, Mary (John) Rothwell, Lena (Greg) Symak, Peter (Julie) Smood, Ernie (Verda) Smood, and Diane Meyer. Sally is survived by her children Les听(Yvonne), Kelly (Jim) Fisher, Pete (Catherine), and Tracey (Laurie) Brown. Sally is also survived by her grandchildren, Jaret, Lauren, Rachel, Brandon (Chantelle), Richard (Nicole), Christopher (Chelsea), and Addison; and great-grandchildren Alex, Summer, and Riley. All of you were a blessing and a joy to her and brought many smiles to her face. Finally, Sally is survived by her siblings Frank (Audrey) Smood, Olga (Joe) Krieg, Larry (Sharon) Smood, Verna Keumper, and Lorna (Wayne) Miskolczi. Sally lost her mother at an early age but with her great strength and faith in God she helped raise her brothers and sisters. Sally, the beautiful girl of the prairie, met the love of her life Peter and began to raise a wonderful family. In 1965 they moved to Port Alberni where she lived the rest of her life. Sally was not only a devoted sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, but in these roles, she was also a leader, teacher, doctor, counselor, mentor, chef and friend - she touched us all. With her great faith and kind heart she never turned away a soul in need. We will never forget the feasts that she made for us, and the kind words that she shared when our hearts were full of joy or our hearts were troubled. Sally (mom, grandma), your presence will be missed in our lives. Your memories will be treasured - forever. We will always love you and will never forget you. Prayers will be held at Notre Dame Parish, 4731 Burke Road on Friday July 3rd at 7:30 pm, followed by a memorial mass on Saturday July 4th at 11:00 am. A memorial lunch will be served in the church basement after the services. Condolences can be forwarded to the family through the Qualicum Beach Funeral Centre Ltd., ([email protected])
