Paul Smollin Obituary

Paul Francis Smollin

White River Junction, VT - Paul Francis Smollin, unexpectedly passed away on Saturday, September 6, 2025 from injuries sustained in an accident. Born on July 1, 1949, he grew up in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, graduated from Iowa Wesleyan College and was in the Navy Reserve. He married Joy, the love of his life, on July 6, 1974. Paul received his Pharmacy degree from LIU and eventually started working at Mary Hitchcock Hospital as a Clinical Pharmacist.

After 38 years, he retired from DHMC. Paul thoroughly enjoyed each day of retirement doing whatever he thought needed to be done around the house that day. He loved Muriel's Donut's in Lebanon, NH and could be seen there every couple of days picking up fresh donuts. But most of all he loved his wife, Joy, of 51 years and his daughter Lynn, and his son, Lee. Paul made every day fun with surprise treats or gadgets he thought we all needed. His family will be missing him for the rest of their lives.

Family and friends are invited to Paul's Mass of Christian burial at the Sacred Heart Church in Lebanon on Monday September 22, 2025 at 11 AM. Burial will follow in the Valley Cemetery in Lebanon.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Hartford Rod and Gun Club, St Jude's or Tunnels to Towers.

Arrangements have been entrusted with the Ricker Funeral Home of Lebanon, NH.

I only met Paul in person a handful of times, but for many years, he was the voice on the other end of the phone. "Paul Smollin, Pharmacy" He was always polite and calm and answered the questions that I was asking. I also remember him showing up on the Pediatrics (I was a nurse there) when he needed more info to help us solve a problem
