Dolores Helen (Lole) Cahill (nee Stoyles)
October 29, 1934 to January 13, 2025
Obituary
Passed peacefully in her 90th year. Surrounded by her loving family, she waltzed through heaven’s gate reuniting with her beloved Lou, of 67 years. She will be forever missed by her proudest and greatest accomplishments, son Shawn (Tina), and daughters Annette Creaser (Darryl) and Marylou Fowler (David), as well as her five grandchildren Jarrod Creaser (Maygen), James Creaser (Jenny), Anna Fowler, Julie Fowler and Lilyann Cahill, and great-granddaughter Emerie Creaser.
She is predeceased by her parents Daniel and Angela Stoyles of Bell Island and her brothers Donald (Don), Gerry, James (Jim) and sisters Mollie Myers, Ada Myler and Patricia Buchholz.
She is survived by her sisters Margaret Craniford, Olga Power, Dana Stoyles and special nephew Jason Craniford, as well as a large circle of relatives and friends.
Lole grew up on Bell Island and later moved to St. John’s where she raised her family. Always together, Lou and Lole took great joy in travelling to spend time with their growing family – her greatest gifts. Her grandchildren held a special place in her heart, celebrating with pride every accomplishment they achieved. She was a wonderful cook renowned for her trifle, Christmas puddings, fruitcakes and special squares. She had an incredible voice and generously shared it with others, especially in her choir. She loved to socialize and enjoyed playing a good game of cards, sometimes staying up until sunrise to play 120 with her beloved Lou and her brothers and sisters when they were visiting.
The Family is deeply grateful to the entire staff at Pleasant View Towers for the exceptional care and respect she received throughout her 4 years there, and particularly those in 2 Southwest during the final days. We also thank the staff at Kenny’s Pond for the care and support of mom during her 8 years as a resident.
She leaves us with a legacy of beautiful memories. Her kindness, strength and unwavering love will be forever in our hearts.
Resting at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road.

Lole was such a lovely lady with a warm heart, and a song for every time I visited.
The song was always an Irish song.
