She was married to Neil Thompson and lived in the Churchill area for many years. She became a real estate broker and ultimately started her own company, Thompson-Smith Real Estate.

Her family was blessed to have had such a kind, beautiful, and spunky mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother for so many years.
