Lucy Anaisa Cable-Munroe

With broken hearts and cherished memories, we announce the passing of Lucy Cable-Munroe, aged 10, of Fall River, Nova Scotia, who tragically lost her life in a boating accident on Lake Rossignol on 18 October 2025.

Born in Halifax on 30 December 2014, Lucy was a bright light in the lives of all who knew her. A student at Georges P. Vanier Junior High and formerly of Ashlee Jefferson School, Lucy was known for her kindness, dry humour, and wisdom beyond her years. Her friendliness and compassion touched classmates, teachers, and friends alike.

Lucy was the beloved daughter of Becky and Troy Cable-Munroe, and a devoted sister to Jack and Poppy, whom she adored deeply. She also leaves behind her cherished grandparents: Nanan & Bah (Carol & Andy), Gramma & Grampie (Cheryl & Vaughn), and Nanny (Lynn MacLeod). She was predeceased by her Papa (Wayne MacLeod), whose memory she held close.

She was surrounded by a loving extended family, including her aunts and uncles: Donna Cable, Rachael Watts (Dan), Ayesha Cable, Holly Munroe (Joey), Robyn Bishop (Dave), Andrea Rodda (Chris), Graham Goulet (Trisha), Mark Munroe (Topaz). She was a proud cousin to Liam, Adam, Curtis, Adain, Logan, Carson, Kodie, Anna, Riley, Drew, Alyssah, David and Kieran.

Though just ten, Lucy had the heart and presence of someone much older. She loved to sit with the grown-ups, pulling up a chair and joining the conversation with ease and charm. Through this, she became a treasured part of Becky and Troy’s circle of friends, making herself right at home among them.

Lucy’s passions were as vibrant as her personality — she loved Jellycats, cats, horses, rollercoasters and boardgames (especially winning at Cranium through her musical humming ability when teamed up with Mum or taking great pleasure in counting out her winnings to beat her brother Jack and her Dad in the Game of Life). She loved to listen to all types of music (from Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran to Eminem, Kendrick Lamar to Dan & Shay). Cheering at Halifax Mooseheads games with Poppy, cowbells in hand and determined to get her face on the jumbotron. Her cats — Bobbie, Fudge, and Molly May — were her constant companions.

She was known for her sense of style, her love of lip glosses, and her signature hair bands. Though undeniably beautiful on the outside, it was Lucy’s inner beauty — her kindness, empathy, and authenticity — that truly set her apart. She was one of a kind.

At home, Lucy shared special moments with each member of her family. She would sing along in the car with her Mum, belting out their favourite songs at the top of their voices. She played teacher with Poppy, making sure her little sister did her reading — and maybe just a little because she liked being in charge. With her dad, she loved baking cookies and had a knack for convincing him to give her foot massages and back tickles.

At school, Lucy was known for her warmth and leadership. She had many friends, but was especially close with her “boy buddies” at recess — joining in the fun while keeping everyone in line with her gentle authority. They loved her, and they protected her.

Lucy’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and light. She was perfect in every way, strong-willed, polite, confident, kind and authentic.

She just wanted to make people proud and to make others feel special. And she did. In her short little life, she made such an incredible impact.

A celebration of Lucy’s life will be held on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. at St. John’s United Church, 3360 NS-2 in Fall River, open to the community. Please wear whatever you like, dress it up or not – she would just want you to be you. If you have a hairband/headband to add a bit of “Luce” to your outfit please wear.

The service will be live-streamed for those unable to attend.

A private gathering for family, close friends and Lucy’s friends & family will follow from 12.30pm at the LWF Hall.
