It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Leona Isabell Todd Smith, who passed away peacefully in her sleep at Hospice Peterborough on December 28, 2024, at the age of 86. Known affectionately as “Isabell,” she was the best mom ever and will be greatly missed by her three daughters, Debbie Davis (Bill), Patti McCrosson (Mike Kubica), and Cindy Reichert (Paul).
Isabell was a devoted and cherished grandmother to Nichole McCrosson, Aaron Davis (Shannon Deevy), John Reichert, and Shannon Reichert, and a loving great-grandmother to Harper, Vivian, and Isla. Fondly remembered as “Aunt Byes” by her many nieces and nephews, Isabell was a dear sister-in-law to Marg Todd, Pauline Todd, and Jessie Todd.
She was predeceased by her parents, Fred and Lavina Todd of Otonabee Township; her sister, Beverley Thompson; and brothers, Hank and Max Todd.
To honor Isabell’s wishes, family and friends are invited to a graveside service at Highland Park Cemetery, 2510 Bensfort Rd., on Saturday, January 4, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. A reception will immediately follow in the Highland Park Reception Center from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the Peterborough Palliative Health Care Team physicians, and all staff of the Palliative Care Unit at PRHC and Hospice Peterborough for their wonderful care and support given to Isabell during her illness. Your compassion went above and beyond.
In memory of Isabell, donations to Five Counties Children Centre or a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated by the family.
