Else Camilla Smith, deeply loved and proud of her family and heritage

Aftenposten mourns the loss of Else Camilla Smith, a cherished friend and colleague who passed away on March 26, 2026, at the age of 63. Smith battled cancer for four and a half years, demonstrating resilience throughout her illness.

Born on June 15, 1962, Smith grew up in the Slemdal area of Oslo, attending Slemdal elementary school, Ris junior high, and Persbråten gymnasium. Her formative years in Oslo shaped her character and her deep connection to her homeland.

Smith's professional life was dedicated to the defense of Norway, a path her friends and family note was unsurprising given her profound love and pride for her country and its people. Her commitment to national service was a defining aspect of her life and a source of great pride for those who knew her.

We remember Else Camilla Smith not only for her professional dedication but also for her warmth and the strong bonds she shared with her family and friends. Her passing leaves a void, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
