Cecelia Marlene Smith

Cecelia "Cele" Marlene Smith (nee Bever), age 71 of Cass Lake, MN, was taken from us unexpectedly on Monday, November 7, 2022.

She was born on April 4, 1951 in Robbinsdale, MN, and happily grew up with her mom in Crystal, MN, and graduated from Cooper High School in 1969.

She met Charles Smith, the love of her life, and they went on to build a wonderful life together, recently celebrating 52 years of marriage. Happily retired 2 years ago, she just started to enjoy the leisure life. Cele's interests were many: fishing with her husband and son, spending time with friends, playing bingo, tending to her garden, cooking in the kitchen, going to concerts and plays with her daughters and listening to the Rolling Stones. Family was the most important thing to her. She was the rock of the family and was simply the best wife and mother that we were blessed to call our own.

Cecelia is preceded in death by her parents, Marian Spoerner and Lawrence Bever; two brothers, Ed and Harold Bever. She is survived by her beloved husband, Charles; daughters, Heather (Dan) Brown and Megan Smith; son, Corey (Carrie) Smith; granddaughters, Alyssa Smith, Makayla (Henry) Everson and Calissa Plocharski; great-grandson, Nash; brother, Charlie Bever; mother-in-law, Marlys Caroon; four-legged friend, Jade.
