Obituary: Remembering the late Edward Smith, Ballybeg, Waterford
The late Edward Smith
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edward Smith, Glencarra, Ballybeg, Waterford who died peacefully on September 19, 2026, aged 82.
Edward was a devoted and loving husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather.
He will be very sadly missed by his loving wife Ann, sons Carl and Alan, daughters Amanda and Kathy, his sons and daughters-in-law, extended family, relatives, neighbours and many friends.
Edward was predeceased by his parents John and Mary, his brothers Pat and Seanie, his sisters Breada and Myra and his son-in-law Michael.
Edward worked with Waterford City and County Council for 40 years, dedicating much of his work life to serving his community. He also proudly served as a retained firefighter for 19 years, a role he held with great commitment and pride.
Edward’s greatest joy was his family. He loved nothing more than spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren. He also enjoyed his sun holidays and the many happy memories made along the way. He was rarely far from his beloved pet Pete, who held a very special place in his heart.
Edward will be remembered as a loving family man, a dedicated worker and a proud retired colleague of the Waterford City Fire Brigade. His kind nature, sense of humour and love for his family will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
