Mercier, 72, passed away peacefully in her sleep early Friday, September 13, 2019 at her home in Belwood. She had been struggling with multiple heath issues for some time and is now at peace. Born in April 21, 1947 in Montreal to Marcelle (nee Vandette) and Edward Donald McKay, Lynn attended Queen of Angels Academy where she met her best friend of over 50 years Patricia (Pat) Nash (nee Currie) and later McGill University. While attending Loyola College in Montreal in 1967, Lynn met her beloved husband of over 49 years, Robert (Bob) Paul. Lynn left a promising career in finance to raise her sons Robert (Robbie) McKay and Donald (Donny) Edward and to be a den mother to countless friends of her boys over the years. Lynn excelled at creating a home that was welcoming to all and she was always there with an open heart for anyone who needed her. Known for her active involvement in school and community activities, Lynn and Bob enjoyed over 30 years in Oakville before moving to Belwood. Always an avid fisherwoman, Lynn loved her new home of Belwood where she volunteered with the Belwood Lions. She enjoyed spending time surrounded by nature and the peacefulness that country life on a small farm allowed in her later years. Lynn is survived by her husband Bob, sons and their wives Rob and Kristi Mercier, Don and Seana Mercier and grandchildren Mikayla Leslie and Dominic Edward; the absolute joys of her life. There will be a funeral service at St Joseph's Church, 760 St. David St. North, Fergus on Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 12:00 p.m. and all are invited to celebrate Lynn on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at the Belwood Hall, 36 Queen St, Belwood from 1 - 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society. www.grahamgiddyfh.com MURRAY, Malcolm (Mack) Mack left us on September 14, 2019 as he said, "honoured by the love that surrounds me". Mack was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the third of four sons born to Liliane and Murdo Murray. He graduated from Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute in 1945 and he married the love of his life, Doreen, in 1952. Together they raised four children, Lisa de Wilde (Jim), Keith Murray (Rhonda), Alix Box (Tom), and Jennifer Murray (Andrew Ross). Seven grandchildren gave "Mackie" endless delight: Margaux, Daniel, Lauren, Sean, Rachel, Luke and Jack. He rejoiced in his two great-granddaughters, Avery and Layla. Mack spent his working life with Canadian General Electric (later CAMCO). He considered himself very fortunate to have had many different opportunities with C.G.E.; in 1966 Mack and Doreen moved their young family from Winnipeg to Montreal, and then to London, Toronto, Montreal and finally to Oakville, Ontario in 1976. It wasn't easy to leave Winnipeg with four young children, saying goodbye to family and friends, but they both desired the best opportunities for their children and for Mack, everything was about his family. Mack personified decency and kindness. One of his proudest accomplishments was to serve on the Organizing Committee for the Pan-Am Games in Winnipeg in 1967 for which he was recognized for his community service by the City of Winnipeg. He believed in what the Games meant for his city and his country. He was a proud Canadian who watched the CFL and never the NFL. He was an avid reader and followed current events and politics, consuming newspapers and headline news in enormous quantities. Mack loved the Winnipeg Jets and enjoyed watching the Blue Jays and the Leafs with Doreen. He was passionate about amateur sport, and the values it instills in young people. He coached track and field and basketball as a young man in Winnipeg and volunteered with hockey and little league baseball in Oakville for many years after he retired. He was recognized with the Community Spirit Award for Sport Development in Oakville in 2004. Mack loved to sing; earlier this month he was teaching Avery how to sing "You are my Sunshine", singing along with her. Mack was an active member of "The Entertainers", the Oakville chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society; he revelled in the weekly practices and the annual concert, writing the last cheque for his annual dues at the beginning of August. We are grateful for the kindness and support of Dr. Healey and the nursing team at The Del Manor, Oakville, especially Claudia, Teresa, Arlina, Paula May and Derek and the other care staff who supported him, Mirabelle, Arlene, Andrea, Christie and Rose and the nurses, Jennyfer and Alex on 5C of the Oakville Hospital. A service to celebrate Mack's life will be held on September 19th at 3:00 p.m. at Glen Abbey Golf Club, 1333 Dorval Drive, Oakville. Canadian Open Room (Parking Lot D).
