Jeanne Smith

Jeanne Margaret Smith was sent to her eternal home in heaven on Sept 9th 2025. Jeanne passed of natural causes after a long affliction with Alzheimer’s disease. Jeanne was the beloved daughter of Peg and Lou Polidoro

Jeanne was born 11/1/1941 in Pennsylvania. Jeanne married her soulmate Robert Smith on 5/15/1965.

Jeanne is survived by her loving husband of 60 years Robert Smith; her daughter Susie Kenny, and her son Brett Smith, her grandchildren Sarah St. Clair; Grace Kenny; Paige, Garrett and Braden Smith, as well as her great granddaughter Lila St. Clair.

Jeanne was strong in her faith, a devout Roman Catholic, she attended mass at Our Lady of Lourdes in Northridge for over 45 years.

Jeanne would simply light up any room she entered with her beauty, her kindness, her sense of humor, and warmth. She was in God’s image, one of the kindest people you would ever meet. She loved her husband and her family with every ounce of her being.

Jeanne will rest eternally in heaven with God, and will share her next life with her parents as well as her beloved sister Joan.

Jeanne loved to cook, to be active, she was an avid runner and competitive softball player through her high school years. She made the transition from athlete to youth soccer and track coach and excelled in both, while mentoring her daughter Susie. She enjoyed cooking, gardening (she loved sunflowers), and trips up the California coast with Robert. She loved to laugh, and her laugh was highly infectious to those around her. It’s a laugh that we love and a laugh that none of us will ever forget.

It is her legacy as devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother that will forever define the life of Jeanne Smith. We ask that you remember her not as her life ended but as she lived life, laughing, and with a genuine care and love for those that had the pleasure of knowing her.‍

Although Jeanne’s physical presence may no longer grace our lives, her smile and her love for her family will always be with us.

Jeanne’s memorial service will be held in the Faith chapel at Forest Lawn on Wed 9/24 at 11:00 am in the Hollywood Hills at 6300 Forest Lawn Drive. Contributions in her memory can be made directly to the Alzheimer’s association at alz.org.
