Helen ‘Mickey’ Dineen Smiley (nee McCrystal), our extraordinarily loving and strong mom, passed away on June 6th, 2024. She made it just in time to celebrate her husband’s birthday, who was no doubt infinitely delighted to see her after having crossed over in 2021.<br><br>She leaves behind her two daughters Marni (Tony) and Megan (Karl), her grandsons Reid and Griffin, her dearest friend Natalie, all of her extended family and friends, her grandkitties, and her granddog, who will forever miss the sound of her giggling as she generously shared her snacks. We grieve her passing with so much heartache but are grateful she is reunited with her husband Hugh, her parents Ruby and Edward, and her siblings Bev, Maureen, and Ed. We will miss her always and are forever grateful for having her as our mom, grandma, auntie, and friend. A celebration of life will be held near her hometown of Royal Oak, Michigan in the summer of 2025. We love you mom.<div></div><br>
