    Lifetimes: Pediatrician combined empathy with a spirit of adventure

    By Valerie HillSpecial to the Record Mon., May 23, 2022

    Colin Smith didn't realize his sister, Marcia Smith, had an ulterior motive when she offered to join his volunteer group bound for Haiti in 1983.

    The volunteers were from a missionary church in Elmira and their role would be to build a new hospital. Colin, who has diabetes, would be far from any medical care if he needed help and Marcia worried.

    "She had a big heart," he said. "I had no idea she'd been watching over me."

    Marcia wanted to ensure her brother received the best care if needed. But while in Haiti, Marcia, a pediatrician, also went into full doctor mode, delivering babies, including several sets of twins and even Siamese twins.

    Marcia consistently worked quietly in the background, always considering what the patient needed. She was not interested in making money, said her longtime partner, Marie Chamberlain.

    Sister Jeanette Hall recalls when Marcia had a practice in Peterborough, Ont., in the early 1970s and was baffled by a small boy's stomach pains. She sat with the lad in hospital for hours, slowly drawing him into her orb of comfort and safety. He finally confessed that he'd swallowed a bottle cap, something that would not have shown up on x-rays. That confession saved him from invasive exploratory surgery.

    "I was in awe of this woman," said Jeanette. "She hadn't taken time to eat or sleep, she was so concerned for him."

    Though Marcia had an exemplary career in medicine spanning decades, her early start was rocky. She was born Aug. 24, 1932, in St. Jacobs, the eldest of six children. Her mother Vera Smith was a stay-at-home mom and her dad Marvin owned a shoe factory, later becoming the town's postmaster.
