Parcourez la nécrologie de Lucille Lucy Marie Chisholm Wednesday March 26th 2025 résidant dans la province Nova Scotia pour le détail des funérailles
Lucille (Lucy) Chisholm (Gallant) passed away peacefully with all her children by her side at the Lunenburg Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital on March 26th, 2025 at the age of 91.
Born on May 19th, 1933 in Shediac, New Brunswick, Lucy was the seventh child born to her late parents Alphonse and Eléonore (Goguen) Gallant. She was a proud sister and spoke fondly of her early years helping to care for her siblings.
Lucy left home early to help her sister Germaine and brother-in-law Al before pursuing her own career in banking. While working at the bank, she met her husband Leonard (Len) Chisholm. The two moved from community to community across Atlantic Canada before finally settling in Lunenburg, NS where they raised their five children.
Lucy was always known for her hospitality. For many years, she worked at the Boscawen Inn where she took great pride in welcoming guests and sharing in the beauty and history of the building. She spent her later career welcoming visitors to her home as a bed and breakfast with many guests leaving as lasting friends.
While most people knew her as Lucy, to us, she was Mom—the heart of our home, where potlucks and holiday celebrations were common, and no visitor ever left hungry. Her door was always open, and there were always treats on the table. Mom’s greatest joy was spending time with her children and grandchildren, whether through shared meals, tea parties, doing puzzles, or just chatting in her rocking chair.
Lucy is survived by her five children Bernadette Byers (late Richard), Brenda Tanner (late Larry), Kenneth Chisholm (Roseanne), Bernice Croft, and Kevin Chisholm (Julie); her siblings: Raoul (Ghislaine), Roméo (late Patricia), and Louis; grandchildren Ryan, Laura, Alex, Michelle, Patrick, Emily, Nicole, Johanna, Sarah, Daniel, Olivia, Philicity, Hannah, Ben, Noah, Will, and Abbie; and great grandchildren Ella, Theo, Jake, Alice, Emmett, and Riley.
Lucy was predeceased by her parents Alphonse and Eléonore (Goguen) Gallant; her husband Leonard Chisholm; and her siblings Andréa, Germaine, Maria, Léopold (“Paul”), Roger, Leonce, Thérèse, Angela, Laure, and Camille.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home, 11213, Hwy 3, Lunenburg and where a service to celebrate Lucy’s life will be held on Saturday, April 19th at 11:00 am.
Special thanks to the caring staff at Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital, the South Shore Regional Hospital, Earth Angels Home Care, and Dr. Jenkins for their continued care of Lucy.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital in Lunenburg, NS or to a charity of your choice.
