Obituary of Lyda Mae Pelley

Please share a memory of Lyda to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Age 76, of Hantsport, passed away on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, in Maplestone Nursing Home, Halifax. Born on March 16, 1948 in Richmond, Quebec, she was a daughter of the late Fred and Mae (Papineau) Oakley.

Lyda spent most of her early life raising four children. She enjoyed travelling with her husband to their cottage in Newfoundland where she would spend time on the lake enjoying the peacefulness of nature. Lyda enjoyed spending time tending to her plant collection, was an avid reader of many publications and she loved birdwatching in her backyard. She was a Godfearing faithful follower of Christ and was dedicated to building up her faith.

Surviving are her children, Jason (Cheryl), Sackville; Donnale (John), Brampton, ON; Jared (Gina), South Rawdon; and Spencer (Dawn), Tantallon; sister, Shirley (Brian) Cole, Mississauga, ON. Lyda was very proud of her thirteen grandchildren, Savannah, Cheyenne, Marco, Brooke, Emma, Luke, Lexi, Mia, Ivy, James, Alyssa, Lincoln and Kayla. She savoured every visit she had with them and was always happy to see them riding around the yard on bikes, mowing the grass and having family BBQs.

Besides her parents, Lyda was predeceased by her husband, Larry Pelley in July 2021.

Arrangements have been entrusted to DeMont Family Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 419 Albert St., Windsor (902-798-8317). Private family burial will be held in Riverbank Cemetery, Hantsport.
