Obituary of Ms. Alison Ruth Valliant

Alison Ruth Valliant (nee Smith) passed away January 22, 2023 at Scarborough Centenary Hospital, unexpectedly after a brief illness.

She is predeceased by her father Gordon Graham Smith and mother Beatrice Ruth Smith (nee Goss), sister Susan and son Christopher.  She is survived by her daughter Emma (Steve).  She will be missed by her grandsons Mitchell and Nolan, dear friend Lorraine (Pete) Brazier and her family, her brother Barry, nephew Devin and niece Nikki.

Alison was born January 20, 1948 in Toronto and raised her family in The Beach.  Alison was a teacher and a pianist, writing music and original plays with her friend Roy Rigg for Glen Ames Public School.  She enjoyed hosting dinners and parties on Pine Crescent.

Later in life, she moved to Scarborough and enjoyed reconnecting with her friends from St. Mildred’s, watching the wildlife outside her window and spending time with her cat Binx.

The family would also like to thank Marvia her PSW for taking such good care of Alison – Alison loved their chats and they had a lot of laughs together.

Cremantion has taken place and interment will take place at Resthaven Memorial Gardens on a nice sunny day, as Alison loved the sun.
