Lucy (nee Marston) Lymer was born December, 1877 in Hopton, Staffordshire, England. She married William Lymer on September 20, 1899 in Salt, Staffordshire. A few years later, they became the proud parents of 2 sons, John Marston Lymer (b. 1901) and William Bamford Lymer (b. 1902). The Lymer family immigrated to Canada on April 13, 1912 and chose to live in the south part of Edmonton, Alberta to raise their family. Sadly, Lucy passed away at the age of 47 on April 26, 1925. Her husband William, who was a painter, lovingly handcrafted this gravestone for his dear wife. It continues to be a touching memorial to her legacy today.
