- EULOGY FROM GRAND-DAUGHTER NATASHA LEAH THRALE ...
"Moms" was born Ivy Willie in Kendall Hanover, Jamaica on 28 February 1919, daughter of Samuel Willie and Zilla. She was the fourth of five children. She was s scholar and had dreams of becoming a teacher. In 1941 she married Ferdinand Daley from Green Island and started a family. Whilst the children were growing she successfully ran her own grocery business. In 1956 they came to England and initially lived in Kentish Town with their three daughters, Carmen, Marva and Monica. In the 1960's they all moved to a new suburb called Kingsbury and bought one of the new houses in the area. Their neighbours were the Harrison's, who have been good neighbours ever since. Moms worked as a seamstress and cutter in London. When she retired she spent some time travelling and staying with relatives in America, Canada and Jamaica. After returning, she pursued a second career as a carer for the charity Crossroads. She later worked at a local school for children with learning disabilities as a lunchtime supervisor, even though she was in her seventies. Once she finally retired, she looked after her great-grandchildren until she was well into her eighties. Ivy was a committed Christian and joined Kingsbury Free Baptist Church in 1979 and was a member of the choir for a number of years. Family was very important to her and she encouraged her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to work hard and excel in their studies. She loved her garden and would tend to her flowers and vegetables. She also enjoyed clothes-making and helped to make costumes for school events. As she grew older and frail, she never lost her spirit and love for her 3 children, 8 grandchildren 12 great-grandchildren, great-great-grand-children and all her nieces and nephews. She joined the Lord on 5 August 2013 aged 94. She impacted all our lives and we will treaty miss her. In our grief, we must remember that she lived a long and fulfilled life, with good health for 90 years. She now rests in peace. The Lord has called her home to enter his eternal rest and we know that she is rejoicing with the heavenly choir. Her eulogy ends as she would have wished with a verse from the Holy Bible, Second Corinthians, Chapter 5, verse 6 ? "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."
EULOGY FROM GRANDSON-IN LAW DAVID HENRY THRALE ...
We are all here today to pay our respects to Ivy Daley. Ivy was a remarkable woman who achieved something extraordinary. This achievement was truly her life's work and is gathered here in this Church this morning.
Ivy - or Moms as everyone called her - built the most exceptional family.
* a family that is kind, supportive and together;
* a family that cares for their sick;
* a family of children that respected and honoured their mother;
* a family of grandchildren working hard and bring up the next generation of children the right way;
* a family of great grandchildren that are studying for the future;
* even a great-great granddaughter who is just the cutest thing.
Everyone in this family is what Moms wanted: decent, honest, industrious, loving.
So today, I would like to thank Moms for welcoming me into this, her most precious achievement. Her family.
