Community & Family
On Saturday 5th June, 1886, Kate Mary Smith submitted an ‘Undertakers’ Notice’ in The Brisbane Courier informing “The inhabitants of Brisbane and surrounding districts that the long-established business so successfully carried on by the late Jno.Smith, as undertaker, will in future be carried on by his widow”. This was K.M. Smiths’ first sharing of ‘News & Events’ with the community and the families we respectfully continue to share our news and event items with today.
Easter is about seeing life and death through new eyes.
Our warmest wishes to All this much appreciated lockdown-free Easter.

Happy St Patrick's Day! Born in Dublin in 1846, Kate Mary Smith (nee Farrell) would have celebrated Saint Patrick's day in her home town. Although the devastation of the 1840's potato famine halted the parade in many areas, the great exodus that followed saw Kate and millions of her countrymen and women taking St Patrick's day celebrations out to the world.

In advance of International Women's Day, K.M.Smith attended a luncheon this afternoon where you could have heard a pin drop when the guest speaker, Australian of the Year 2021 Grace Tame, shared her story. With a heritage infused by the work of an amazing woman - Kate Mary Smith - each generation of women shows us that there is always more we can bring to our workplaces, our families and our communities.
