Pamela (Johnston) Lyall Obituary

Pamela Lyall
1926 – 2026

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved GG.

Pam passed away peacefully this afternoon, surrounded by family, at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Ontario.

From her upbringing in Ireland, through every era of her life in Toronto and summers in Muskoka, her 100 years were rich and far-reaching — spanning generations as a mother, granny, great-grandma (GG), and even a GGG. Ahead of her time, she built a pioneering career in radiology and moved through the world with confidence, curiosity, and fierce independence.

She was known for her impeccable sense of style, her sharp wit, her beautiful gardens, and her self-proclaimed “gift of gab” — a voice that was always heard and a presence that filled every room.

She leaves behind countless friends and a large family who all adored her and will forever carry her stories, spirit, and style with them.

We find solace in knowing she’s where she’s longed to be — back with her girls, and no doubt gabbing away.
