Lucy Martin was born December 12, 1931 and passed on April 7, 2024 at Huronview Home in Clinton, at the age of 92. Lucy was predeceased by her loving husband Jim Martin. Loving mother to David and Fred Martin. Dear grandmother to Randy, Chris, Tanya, and Jacob and great grandmother to Garren, Diesel, and Jackson. Lucy was also predeceased by her parents Mary and William Daer, and her brothers; Murray, Ralph, Mike, Joe, Clarence, Ben, Hank, and Ernie.
Lucy was an “active life member” of the Salvation Army Church, and the Community Care Ministry. Volunteering was one of Lucy’s passions in life. Her quiet style of giving, expecting nothing in return was especially well suited to her visits to Goderich Place, Maitland Manor, Maple Grove, and Goderich Hospital. Lucy also volunteered with the Huron Hospice for over 10 years.
Recognized in 2004 as a “Woman of Distinction” by the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority for volunteerism and in 2011 June Callwood Circle of Outstanding Volunteers by the Hospice Association of Ontario.
Many thanks to Briar and his team at Higgs Home Health for the excellent care provided to Lucy in her home since 2019.

Lucy was a wonderful and kind lady. We were both volunteers for Huron Hospice. During the good weather, Lucy would ride her bike to the monthly meetings. Then during winter and when her knees started bothering her, I would pick up Lucy and return her home. Lucy kept us all in stitches at the meetings! Lucy was a valued member of Hospice and a regular visitor at Maitland Manor. I know Lucy contributed many hours to the Food Bank and Salvation Army. She was a very giving person. I will miss Lucy.

Lucy was so special. She used to bike down to my grandmas house to visit her all the time. She would bring her special gifts and lots of laughter. My grandmother could not get out much with health issues. Lucy never forgot her . She was a wonderful person and we thought the world of her. Sorry for your loss.
