TYRRELL, Lloyd ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, Lloyd Tyrrell, loving husband and father of two children, passed away at 85 years old.

Lloyd had a passion for volunteering which spanned many decades. He and Veronica supported many local community organizations and political organizations. Together they had a way of always bringing people together. He was known for his quick wit, his infectious smile, and his kind and compassionate spirit. A day did not pass without Lloyd telling a story about door knocking in support of federal and provincial Liberal party candidates. His most endearing memories were of volunteering with, and serving as a Board member of, the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton since 1985. He contributed to the community of Halton by always being the one who worked behind the scenes. Lloyd transported the melodic steel pans, audio equipment, signs, and fresh snacks and coffee were always there for CCAH event participants and volunteers alike.

She was 95 years young. Her strong will to live, unwavering faith in God, and the love and prayers of family, friends, and many supporters carried her through her struggles and ultimately gave her peace. Martha was born and raised in the Netherlands in a farming community, enduring the hardships of an occupied country in World War ll. She was trained as a seamstress, a skill set she actively used for most of her life. She was immersed in the Catholic community that would be her lifelong support from an early age. She married Gerry in 1952 and the two of them promptly left for a new life and opportunity in Canada, boarding a ship, disembarking at the famous Pier 21 in Halifax and then taking the train to southwestern Ontario. The couple eventually settled into country life in what is now known as Oakville. There, Martha focused on raising a family, instilling in them the virtues of faith and hard work. She was a sought-after home care worker in addition to working at Simpson's Department Store for many years. Martha's devotion to her church, faith and community were exemplified in the decades of service she gave to St. Dominic's parish. She applied her accomplished seamstress skills to the making of garments, altar cloths and church banners for masses and special events. She applied her excellent crafting skills to fundraising efforts. She was a long-time member of the church choir and participated in numerous social events. She frequently answered any call for assistance, visiting the sick and offering a helping hand, quietly, without fanfare and all for love that showed her faith. She was a member of the Catholic Women's League for over 65 years. Martha felt blessed and proud of her loving family. Predeceased by her husband Gerry, she is survived by her children: Peter (Lorna), Antoinette (Al), Paul, Mary-Anne (Doug) and Anne- Marie (Larry). Martha leaves behind 10 grandchildren: Michael (Shayna), Angela (Jonas), Rick (Angie), Krista, Devi, Kevin, Nicole, Sarah (Matt), Matthew (Carly) and Cassee.
