1960 - 2026
Born October 24th, 1960, Molly was the daughter of the late Mary Alice Hayes Lemieux-Kalmes. She grew up in the Upton area alongside her siblings and graduated from Nipmuc Regional High School in 1978.
Molly was a devoted mother to her two children, Eric Michael Smith and Brianne Elizabeth Smith-Patterson. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Eric Robert Smith, who passed away in 2001.
One memorable chapter of Molly’s life was the time she and her family spent living in England from 1992 to 1994. Those years created lasting memories that remained close to her heart.
Molly was known for her wonderful sense of humor, quick wit, and kind heart. During her children’s childhood, her home became a gathering place for neighborhood kids, who enjoyed spending time there and raiding the snack-filled “hurricane closet.” She also had a special love of horses and treasured time with her family.
Being a grandmother brought Molly great joy. She leaves behind her grandchildren, Gavin and Conor, and shared a particularly close bond with Gavin, whom she cared for during the first three years of his life. She also loved her grand-fur babies.
In addition to her children, their spouses, and her grandchildren, Molly leaves her sisters, Sharon Fitzgibbons and Rachel MacRae; her brother, Michael Lemieux; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
She was predeceased by her mother, Mary; her sister, Donna Marie Leclaire; and her brothers, David, Ronald, and Stephen Lemieux.
Molly will be remembered for her humor, kindness, and devotion to her family. Her memory will live on through the stories, laughter, and cherished memories shared by those who knew and loved her.
