JoAnn N (MacAusland) Smith

It is with heavy hearts, the family of JoAnn N. (nee MacAusland) Smith, loving and devoted wife to Howard Smith, announces her passing which occurred on Friday, February 28, 2025 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Born in Charlottetown, PE on August 8, 1947, she was the daughter of the late Donald and Gladys (James) MacAusland. In addition to her parents she was predeceased by her son Blake Doyle, brother Donnie MacAusland (Phyllis) and mother-in-law Rita Ann Smith.

Along with her husband Howard of 35 years, she is survived by her sons Blair Doyle (Angela) and Brodie Doyle (Dorieann); sister Heather Bowlan (Eric, dec.); cherished grandchildren Amanda McAvoy, Adam Doyle (Kirstie), Aaron Doyle, Mitchell Doyle, Matthew Doyle, Cameron Doyle (Mikayla) and Chloe Doyle, great grandchildren Adelyn and Owen McAvoy. Along with Nieces and Nephews.

JoAnn loved to read, travel and explore the Maritimes with Howard. She loved spending time with her family and many friends. Her green thumb assured their home was always filled with plants and flowers. Her love for animals, gave a happy home to many pets over the years (she really gave a hoot about Owls). Her broad knowledge of family history and storytelling ability will be missed. Her social network was extensive, and her recollections of events and time remained regarded by all those that chose to give her a call.
