Jennifer Smyl Obituary, Death – Jennifer Smyl, wife of former Vancouver Canucks captain Stan Smyl died battling cancer. The National Hockey League team shared the sad news that she had passed away on Friday. The Vancouver Canucks released a statement expressing their “profound sense of sadness” following the passing of Jennifer Smyl, who had been Stan Smyl’s wife for the past 42 years. Jennifer Smyl passed away, and it is with a profound sense of sadness that the Vancouver Canucks and the Aquilini family announce this news,” the team said in a statement.
“Jennifer was an active member of the community surrounding the Canucks and an important contributor to the causes supported by the team, including the work she did to assist in the establishment of Canuck Place,” During this trying time, our thoughts and prayers are with Jennifer’s family and all of those who were close to her. May you find comfort in knowing that you have our deepest sympathies. Jennifer spent her childhood in New Westminster, where she was also born and raised. However, she did not meet the man who would one day become her husband until she was working at what was formerly known as Severin’s Restaurant in Burnaby.
She rose to prominence alongside her husband, who was a prominent member of the Canucks organization, and became one of the off-ice faces of the Canucks during his ascent to prominence. The Canuck Foundation, which was operating under a different name at the time, established Canuck Place, a hospice for children, in the year 1995. It should not come as a surprise that she played a significant role in the establishment of the facility because she is well-known for both her sense of humor and her dedication to assisting others. The additional information that was provided by the team suggests that Stan and his children Jilian, Natalie, and Spencer have asked to be left alone.
