Kristy Trial Smith
April 27, 1976 - January 16th 2026
Kristy Trial Smith, 49, of Madison, Maine passed unexpectedly surrounded by family due to heart
complications on January 16th, 2026.
She was born in Skowhegan, Maine in 1976 to Peter E Trial and Shirley Quinn Trial. Kristy attended
Madison Area Memorial High School, before studying at Thomas College and then worked with Envision
Net which led her to move to Washington State.
Kristy was a breath of fresh air to every room she walked into. Family and friends were her most
important priority; the Seattle Seahawks were her second. Kristy had a love for sandy beaches, sunsets
and traveling around the country with her husband. Kristy dreamed of moving back home to Maine once
her son graduated, and she was able to make that move July of 2024. She and her husband found a
beautiful home in her hometown of Madison and was surrounded by family until the day she passed.
Kristy was very intelligent; she attended University Of Phoenix where she graduated with her Bachelor of
Science, and then going back to school at Edmonds Community College for her Paralegal Certificate.
Once back in Maine she knew she wanted to stay in the paralegal field and found a great job at Steve
Smith Trial Lawyers.
Kristy became an Elk’s member where she enjoyed playing cribbage and bingo. As a true ‘Trial’ she
enjoyed puzzles, poker and doing tedious crafts as well. As a child Kristy was the youngest of 7 siblings
and often stated that her parents “stopped at perfection.” She was a true daddy’s girl and enjoyed
cheerleading and hanging out with friends she still has to this day.
Kristy was beloved by so many people, but one of the most important was her son Johnny Pete. The
amount of love that she had for him was immeasurable. The two of them formed such an incredible bond.
Kristy truly brought joy, happiness, and laughter to everyone she touched, and will be greatly missed.
Kristy is survived by her son John P Cloutier, husband Brad E Smith and his children LillyAnna Smith,
Trinity Nigro and Alex Smith and grandchildren Emilia and Laylah. Her siblings Peter Trial and wife Lou,
Mary Horton and husband Cliff. Ruth Perkins, Aaron Trial and wife Val. Her many nieces and nephews,
Brian, Nick, Cory and wife Tina, Ann-Marie and husband Jeremy, Jess and fiance Travis, Zack and wife
Cayla and Emily and spouse Keenan. Her close cousins Pete and Arlene, Linda and Frank.
Kristy was predeceased by parents; Peter E Trial and Shirley Quinn Trial. Brother; Mark Trial.
Brother-in-Law; Chester Perkins. Sister, Ann-Marie Trial. Nephews; Lance Perkins, and Jason Trial. Aunt;
Irene Catudal.
At Brad’s request we would love for everyone to write down a memory that you have with Kristy and bring
it to the service with you so we can form a story book of her amazing life.
Kristy’s service will be held at The Federated Church, 13 Island Ave, Skowhegan, Maine on February 7th,
2026 at 1pm. Food and Beverages will be at the Fellowship Hall after the service, we would love to have
everyone join for stories.
A lover of flowers, Kristy found joy in the color purple, with lilacs being her favorite if you chose to send.
