Shared on behalf of the family.

It is with deep sadness, we share the funeral arrangements for our beloved Kathryn Smith.

" In Loving Memory Of Kathryn Smith "

A dearly Loved Mum to Kelly, Brian, Paul & Stephen.
A Loving Grandmother to Corey, Keeley & Paul.

Many may remember Kathryn as lifeguard and swimming teacher as she devoted her career to Skelmersdale baths.

The service will take place at St Helens Crematorium on Monday 1st December 2025 at 10:30am.
The family would like to extended their welcome to Kathryn’s service for all that would like to pay their respects.
We politely ask that the family are the first to enter chapel.

Today we had the privilege of taking a gentleman on his final journey using the services of the Land Rover Defender hearse. It is a great alternative to the traditional hearse.
