People/Subject

Stirling, Lucy (nee McInnis)

Lucy Christina Stirling was born in Piapot, Saskatchewan on November 22, 1912, the second child of parents Barbara and Angus McInnis. Lucy taught school while in Saskatchewan, after graduating from the Regina Normal School. The McInnis family moved to Murrayville after 7 years of drought in Saskatchewan on October 20, 1937 and lived on 216th Street in a home that was originally the Belmont School. BC would not accept Lucy's teaching credentials from out of province, so she returned to Saskatchewan to teach for a couple of years. On November 1, 1939 she married Sam Stirling and the couple settled on Church Street in Murrayville. In 1946 they moved with their children Joyce and Dale to the Stirling family home (the Lamb/Stirling House), where Sam's grandparents, Alexander and Harriet Stirling, had lived since 1922. Sam ran a 48 acre dairy farm here. Lucy taught Sunday School at Sharon United Church for 18 years. Sam passed away in 1981, and Lucy died on April 14, 1989.
