59 death notices and funeral announcements in Merseyside this week

Families and friends have paid tribute to those who have died in this week's death notices and funeral announcements.

The Liverpool ECHO publishes dozens of tributes each week, helping to inform friends, acquaintances and colleagues of those who have passed away. They are a long-standing tradition for loved ones to share a parting message.

The announcements also often share information regarding funerals, fundraising and flower advice. Tributes to the health and care professionals who looked after their lost loved ones in their final days are also often featured.

You can see the full list of family announcements by visiting the Liverpool ECHO section of our partner website funeral-notices.co.uk.

Joan Margaret McCool

(Gillmore ) Nin, the love we had was unspoken but will remain forever. Whenever I needed guidance or just someone to make me laugh and feel loved, you were always there and when we need you, I know your hand will be on our shoulders. Your spirit will live on, in me and my family, and you'll never be forgotten. An incredible woman who led an incredible life. A bright light that will remain shining in us all. Love from John, Lynn, Callum Bethany, Aimee, Louis, Theo, Chelsea and Jake.

Mum, You gave us everything and never asked for anything in return. You were truly a one off and we were so privileged to have you as 'our mum'. I know you'll be watching over us. The greatest Mum anyone could hope for. Love from your devoted daughter, Sally, John and family.

(Gillmore) 5th April 2022, an extraordinary life filled to the brim with love, laughter and adventure, Joan, the beloved mother of Cheryl, Sally, Robert and Gay (deceased) passed away aged 100, surrounded by her loved ones, to finally be reunited with her first daughter and husband and companion of 60 good years, Roy. A true force of nature, the void her huge personality made will never truly be filled, but the legacy she leaves will be her large family, which she adored. Born 16th August 1921, she tended her siblings through the war, caring for them through the horrors of the Blitz that devastated Seacombe and Liverpool, before starting her own family dynasty. She travelled the world to support her family, taking in Hiroshima in 1946, Australia, South America and her favourite place, apart from home, Cuba. She served as a nurse on the hospital ships during the Korean War and was so proud when she received the medal awarded to the Merchant Seamen for their service during the conflict. She also witnessed the changing of the Guard in Cuba as her ship helped evacuate foreign nationals from the island in the lead up to Castro's revolution. Not long after her ship ran aground in the shark infested waters of Bermuda, she made her final voyage and gave up the sea to begin a new career, working in a host of pubs, clubs and restaurants in Liverpool, most notably in the Cornmarket for many years. After retirement beckoned, she continued working as a carer and companion into her eighties, reinforcing her motto that 'you get out of life, what you put in' and she certainly put a lot in. Joan's life will enter its final chapter at 11:00am 27th April, in the Centre Chapel at Landican Crematorium, Arrowe Park, CH49 5LW. This will be followed by a celebration of her life at the Poulton Vics Social Club. Family flowers only but donations, if desired, could be made to Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
