Gwendolyn Page Smith

Gwendolyn Page Smith, 88, of Clermont, Florida, passed away peacefully on September 29, 2026.

Born in Mabel, Florida, Gwendolyn grew up in Clermont, a place that would always hold a special place in her heart. She spent many years in Windermere before eventually returning to her roots in Clermont, where her life’s journey had begun.

Gwendolyn was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 49 years, Philip Smith. Together, they shared a life filled with family, friendships, and a mutual love of animals. Gwendolyn embraced her role in Philip’s family, helping raise Jeanie and Christopher from an early age and sharing in the lives of his daughters, Kathryn and Elizabeth.

Gwendolyn was a woman who knew her own mind. Strong-willed, independent, and never afraid to speak her mind, she approached life with determination and conviction. She enjoyed being around people, valued her friendships, and had a spirited personality that those who knew her will not soon forget.

Her love for her community was especially evident during her years in Windermere, where she served on the Town Council. She cared deeply about the town and took pride in being involved in the decisions that helped shape its future.

Among Gwendolyn’s greatest pleasures was her love of animals, particularly horses. She and Philip raised horses on their property in Minneola, Florida, sharing a passion that became a special part of their life together.

Gwendolyn is survived by her stepchildren, Jeanie Smith Daly, Christopher Smith, Kathryn (Robert) Hughes, and Elizabeth Smith; her sisters, Marilyn (Lonnie) Ricci, Joy McRoberts and sister-in-law Jane Smith; along with her grandchildren, cousins, and extended family.

Those who knew Gwendolyn will remember a woman of strength, character, and unwavering determination. She lived life on her own terms, spoke from the heart, and left a lasting impression on those around her.

Her presence will be missed, her stories remembered, and her memory forever cherished by those who loved her.

A private memorial service will be held in November.
