Stephen (Steve) Allen Smith, 70, of New Berlin, Wisconsin, passed away April 24, 2021.

 

Steve was born during the season’s worst snowstorm, on December 10, 1950, to Lloyd and Charlotte Smith of Allerton, Illinois. He graduated high school from ABL in 1968 as an all-star athlete. He graduated from Cardinal Stritch in Milwaukee in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. His father, Lloyd, was present at his graduation, which meant the world to Steve.

 

Steve was the Business Manager for CMB Health Specialties where he worked with his wife, Dr. Carol Brown (“Dr. Mom” and “Dr. Grandma”), since 1989. Carol and Steve (“Goomba”) were together several years before they were married on November 10, 2000. According to Carol, Steve was the most patient and kind man she had ever met, and their years together will be cherished forever. Steve’s friendship touched many lives, and he enjoyed time with Carol and her family, all his family, and their many friends. He enjoyed many beautiful days on the golf course with his sons and friends and traveling with Carol.

 

He was always proud and has a special love for each of his three sons and their families, Bryce (Kodi) Smith of Dunlap, Illinois (Lindee and Jase Arrasmith and Ella Smith), Brad (Laura) Smith of Sidney, Illinois (Shelby, Bradley, and Hayden Smith), and Scott (Amanda) Smith of Villa Grove, Illinois (Peyton and Jackson Smith). Though he lived miles away, he always stayed in touch with them by phone and many visits.

 

Even though miles separated them, Steve continued to be a big brother for his siblings, Randy Smith, Stanley Smith, Sandra (Kenny) Spencer, and Peg (Jeff) Hillery. Steve stayed connected to his family and always knew what was happening with his nieces and nephews (Gary, Meghan, Charlotte, Ben, Nick, Sam, and Kenzi) and grandnieces and grandnephews.

 

Steve was preceded in death by his mother and father, Charlotte and Lloyd Smith of Allerton, Illinois, and his sister-in-law Carol Ann Smith (Terven) of Arthur, Illinois.

 

Visitation will be held at Krause Funeral Home, 12401 West National Avenue in New Berlin, Wisconsin on Thursday, April 29, 2021, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM and will be livestreamed. Funeral service will be at 6:00 PM. Graveside service will follow at 1:00 PM on Friday, April 30, 2021, at Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in Newman, Illinois.

You are in my thoughts. Love ya Doc!

Goomba, your humor and patience with ladies in the midst of serious shopping trips will be sorely missed. Have loved you and the family since we met, and my birthdays won't be the same without you calling to remind me that I am again older than you for the year. So glad I was able to spend many travels with you and CB. LOTS of love goes with you. We will be standing by CB. Poohie.

Steve was the kindest man. I always remember looking up to him and enjoyed all of our Smith-Rice family reunions in Allerton. He always made the trip and especially enjoyed talking to him during his recent visit to Dad's memorial service. Steve will be greatly missed by all.
Pam Weimann left a message on April 28, 2021:
It is difficult to find the words that describe the loss of Steve, for Carol most specially. Steve was a friend and help to all that met him. He was Carol's right and left hand and as such is irreplaceable. I am sure he is with those who preceded him in death in the presence of God. He was a good man!
