Lucy (Vanderbent) Pool of Erin in her 64th year after a 3-year battle with cancer.  Lucy was born on December 28th, 1954 to Elizabeth and Joost Vanderbent of Erin, Ontario.

Lucy was a dedicated mother first, with a wicked sense of humour and a punchline for every occasion.  She was the loving mother of Christina (James) Bartley of Trowbridge, Gregory (Jennifer) Pool of Whitby and Sandy Pool of London U.K.  Cherished grandmother of Jocelyn, Kayla and Léa.  Dear sister of Dirk Vanderbent of Hamilton and sister-in-law Sue, and Casey Vanderbent of Elliot Lake and partner Verna.

Lucy was an avid gardener, reader, motorcyclist and glider pilot. She is also survived by her beloved husband and flying instructor, Neil Pool.  The family would like to thank the Walcott family for their incredible support throughout this journey.  The family wishes to thank all the doctors and nursing staff at St. Joseph’s Health Care Centre, Guelph for their amazing care as well as their family doctor, Dr Duncan Bull.

The family will receive friends for visitation only at MacIntyre Family Funeral Home, 5399 Wellington Road 52, Erin on Saturday August 10, 2019 from 5-8 p.m.  If desired, donations to East Wellington Community Services (EWAG), 45 Main St., Box 786, Erin ON NOB ITO or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated as an expression of sympathy.  Cards will be available at the funeral home or you may send the family a condolence at www.macintyrefamilyfuneralhome.com

  Is folded and hung up to dry

 And the seven stars go squawking

 Like geese about the sky.”
