SWEENEY, Lucy Marie -- In Loving Memory of Lucy Marie Sweeney (nee Arbour), 55 years, who passed away Saturday, 7 November 2009 at the Vale Inco Hospice. Beloved wife of Daniel Sweeney. Loving mother of 4 children, Tommy Carrey (predeceased 1980), Jennifer Carrey, Krysten Sweeney, and Darian Sweeney. Cherished daughter of André (predeceased 1997)and Madeleine (Parent) Arbour of Chelmsford. She is survived by two siblings: sister Patricia (Arbour) Svab (husband Josef) andbrother MarcelArbour (wife Anna), both of Windsor, Ontario. Loving aunt of Christina, Andy, Angie, Samantha, Donald, Lisa, Krista, Patrick, Ashley, Brandon, Miranda, Austin, Kyle and Curtis. She will be sorely missed as the grandmother (Mimi) of Jaxon Portelance. Lucy will undoubtedly be remembered for her determination and her will to live. Almost a year to the dayshe was diagnosed with lung cancer, and approximately 3 months after the date of her appointed life expectancy, she left peacefully. Wishing to maximize her time on earth, Lucy fought her disease tirelessly through radiation and chemotherapeutic treatment, through Intensive Care, and through the emotional realization of her looming departure. However, Lucy was able to achieve her primarygoal in life: to raise her children with the utmost care and to ensure their future success. She had a critical eye, a passion for meticulous work, an artistic flair and an unrivalled level of organization. Her talent for decorating and planning school and community functions was appreciated by many. She lived for her kids, her grandson, her husband and her many loyal pets (including Tango and Frodo). Always prepared to encourage or defend her family in any endeavours that they undertook, she truly deserves the title of number one fan. She was an amazing mother, a fantastic wife, and an inspiration to all those who have known her and have been touched by her long and arduous journey.

I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to the Sweeney family on the loss of their dear Lucy. I met Lucy throughmydaughter Jessica whowent to school with Darian and Krysten. Lucy was always involved in every school function and always had an incredible gleam in her eyes whenit came to her children. I'm sure they as well as many other children whom she helpedand mentored willmiss her.
