Lydia Ham-May

30/11/-0001 - 24/09/2020

Lydia Ham- May, of Baldwin’s Mills, passed away on Thursday, September 24, 2020 at the Hotel-Dieu hospital in Sherbrooke at the age of 89. She was the wife of the late Wilson May, who passed away in April of 2017. She will be missed by her two children, Gregory (Maureen) and Gillian (Michael), two grandchildren, Chyanne and Kassandra, plus many friends and other relatives. 
 
Lydia was predeceased by two sisters, Vonda Bowen and Lorna Kemp, and remained very close to their families. As a young woman, she was a teacher in Georgeville before marrying Wilson. The two met at a card party and their 69th wedding anniversary would have been this September 30th. Together, Wilson and Lydia built their family a home in Baldwin’s Mills where they tended a magnificent flower and vegetable garden.
 
Throughout her life, Lydia poured her efforts into many causes, whether in the neighborhood or on the school council. She was passionate about genealogy- she served as a source of knowledge for family and friends and actively contributed historical photographs and pieces to local museums. She was a tireless volunteer with groups including the Lake Lester Ladies Group, the Horticultural Society of Ayers Cliff, and the Quebec Farmers Association. Later in life she continued her passions, picking berries and dutifully volunteering at the Coaticook Ressourcerie.
 
The family extends a special thank you to the relatives and friends who offered assistance through her last years and to the personnel on the 6th floor of the Hotel-Dieu hospital.
 
Loved ones are invited to the burial at Crystal Lake Cemetery in Stanstead on Saturday, October 10 at 1:30pm. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Crystal Lake Cemetery  2250 Ch Kurtis, Stanstead Est, Quebec, J0B 3E0
 
Lydia Ham- May, de Baldwin's Mills, est décédée le jeudi 24 septembre 2020 à l'Hôpital Hôtel-Dieu de Sherbrooke à l'âge de 89 ans. Elle était l'épouse de feu Wilson May, décédé en avril 2017. Elle manquera à ses deux enfants, Gregory (Maureen) et Gillian (Michael), à ses deux petits-enfants, Chyanne et Kassandra, ainsi qu'à de nombreux amis et autres parents.
Lydia a été précédée par deux sœurs, Vonda Bowen et Lorna Kemp, et est restée très proche de leurs familles. En tant que jeune femme, elle était enseignante à Georgeville avant d'épouser Wilson. Les deux se sont rencontrés lors d'une fête de cartes et leur 69e anniversaire de mariage aurait eu lieu ce 30 septembre. Ensemble, Wilson et Lydia ont construit leur famille une maison à Baldwin’s Mills où ils entretenaient un magnifique jardin de fleurs et de légumes.
 
Tout au long de sa vie, Lydia a consacré ses efforts à de nombreuses causes, que ce soit dans le quartier ou au conseil d'école. Elle était passionnée par la généalogie - elle a servi de source de connaissances pour la famille et les amis et a activement contribué à des photographies et des pièces historiques aux musées locaux. Elle a été une bénévole infatigable auprès de groupes tels que le Lake Lester Ladies Group, la Société d'horticulture d'Ayers Cliff et l'Association des agriculteurs du Québec. Plus tard dans la vie, elle a continué ses passions, cueillant des baies et bénévolement à la Ressourcerie Coaticook.
 
La famille remercie tout particulièrement les parents et amis qui lui ont offert son aide au cours de ses dernières années et le personnel du 6e étage de l'hôpital Hôtel-Dieu.
 
Les proches sont invités à l'inhumation au cimetière de Crystal Lake à Stanstead le samedi 10 octobre à 13h30. Au lieu de fleurs, veuillez envoyer des dons au cimetière de Crystal Lake, 2250 Ch Kurtis, Stanstead Est, Quebec, J0B 3E0.

I am so going to miss her matter of fact ways and interest in people and everything life has to offer.
I last saw her at Coaticook Hospital. Before that, a group of us were at her apartment in Coaticook. Before that, many times at the same table with her and Wilson at the Coaticook English Seniors.
