Clare SMITH Obituary

Clare, aged 78, passed away peacefully on November 27, 2025, after a very brave battle, surrounded by those who loved her most. Dearly loved wife of Brent - whose love and loyalty to each other inspired us all. A devoted and deeply loved mum to Nikki and Darryl, the most cherished Nana to Callum, Eva and Jaime, and adored by Mary and Cypress. Clare lived wholeheartedly for her family. She was the biggest cheerleader, the one who always showed up, always cared and always made space for everyone she loved. Treasured by her many friends, tennis mates and neighbours from East Coast Bays, as well as her Settlers Lifestyle Village community. Clare touched countless lives with her warmth, generosity and gentle strength. Forever loved, forever missed. In honour of Clare's wishes, a private cremation has been arranged. Messages can be sent to The Smith Family, Apt 23, 550 Albany Highway, Auckland 0632.
