Dalton
On 18th June, we said goodbye to our wonderful Mum – Pat, Patsy, Patricia Dalton.
After many weeks in hospital, facing one setback after another, Mum never stopped fighting. Time and time again she showed incredible strength, determination and courage, picking herself up and battling on even when the odds seemed stacked against her. She amazed us all with her resilience and her refusal to give up.
Although Mum had lived with ill health for a number of years, she always faced it with a strength that inspired everyone around her. She was fiercely independent, incredibly loving, and had a spirit that could never be broken.
Throughout everything, our wonderful Dad never left Mum’s side. He cared for her with unwavering love and devotion, standing beside her through every appointment, every hospital stay, every setback and every small victory. Their love for one another was truly special, and we know Mum took great comfort from having Dad by her side every step of the way.
Mum was the heart of our family and meant so much to so many people. She was not only an incredible Mum, but the most devoted and loving Nana. Her grandchildren brought her endless pride and joy, and the love she had for them was beyond measure.
The love, kindness and support we have received over the past few weeks have meant more to our family than we could ever put into words. Every message, card, flower, hug and shared memory has brought us comfort during the most difficult of times and has been a testament to just how loved Mum was and how many lives she touched. We are so incredibly grateful.
We are heartbroken that Mum was taken from us too soon, but we take comfort in knowing that she fought with everything she had right until the very end.
Mum, you will be missed beyond words by all of us. Our lives will never be the same without you, but your love, your strength and your memory will live on through Dad, through us, through your grandchildren, and through everyone whose life you touched.
We would now like to let everyone know the arrangements to celebrate Mum’s life.
Pat’s Funeral Mass will take place on Saturday 8th August at 12.00pm at Our Lady, Star of the Sea Catholic Church, Ramsey.
Everyone who knew and loved Mum is warmly welcome to join us as we give her the send-off she would have wanted. Mum lived her life with warmth, kindness, laughter and a wonderful sense of fun, so we kindly ask that you wear bright colours and comfortable attire, rather than traditional black, as we celebrate a life so beautifully lived.
Family flowers only, please. Donations in lieu of flowers, if desired, may be made to Hospice Isle of Man, in grateful appreciation of the exceptional care, compassion and dignity they gave Mum and our family during her final days. Our heartfelt thanks go to Dr Justine Needham and every member of the hospice team for the outstanding care they provided.
Following the service, there will be a private family burial at Lezayre Churchyard.
Afterwards, everyone is warmly invited to join us for a Celebration of Pat’s Life at Ramsey Golf Club. Whether you are able to attend the church service or not, we would love to see you there to share stories, memories and raise a glass to Mum. Children are very welcome.
As we come together to remember our beautiful Mum, we hope the afternoon will be filled with love, laughter and happy memories—just as she would have wished.
Sleep peacefully now, Mum. Your fight is over, and it’s finally time to rest.
With love,
The Dalton Family

Stella
20th November 1935 – 8th February 2026 Founder of Jurby Junk, Artist, Poet, and Author. The Isle of Man has lost one of its most endearing characters. Stella dedicated much of her life to the Island and its people that she held so dear. Stella and her famous shop, ‘Jurby Junk’, appeared on many national television programmes. People would travel from all over the world to visit her unique shop— maybe to buy something, or just to browse and chat with Stella. She would always welcome customers seven days a week, wearing her black leather dress (of which she had seven identical ones for each day of the week, but who knew that!). She would take great pleasure in seeing the shock new customers would experience walking into her Kingdom for the first time. Always happy to serve, she seemed to know where every item in the shop could be found. A visit to ‘Jurby Junk’ and Stella was a day out and a tourist attraction for the north of the island for many years. Stella would delight in the fact that when young children visited her, they would return years later with their own families. If a customer found an item for a pound and discovered they had a rare, priceless item (and this did happen), Stella would be genuinely delighted for them. Stella would supply props to many of the films made on the island, free of charge, on the condition that she could appear in a small cameo somewhere in them. I was a struggling actor, and my mother was getting more work than me. Where did I go wrong? My wife Grazina and I even managed to get her to come to Las Vegas—her first and only trip to America—for the wedding of her grandson Daniel and his lovely wife Nicki, but only when she found someone able to keep the shop open in her absence. That was Stella… A truly remarkable woman with a truly unique business strategy: “Everything I make, I put back into the shop for my customers.” That was Stella… I remember our time when I was a young boy and we were living in London; Stella was working for the government at the Central Office of Information. She ran her own department, which for a single mum in the '60s and '70s was very unusual. Working very long hours, she would come home exhausted, and I couldn’t talk to her for half an hour until she’d finished the cup of tea I’d made her. As a child, I was convinced she worked for James Bond and that he was working her way too hard. That was Stella… Stella will be remembered by her friends and family with the fondest love and affection for her sense of fun, hard work, dedication and stoic approach to whatever task lay before her. An inspiration, an icon, a hero. That was Stella… my mum. Stella will be reunited with her father (Howard Pixton, Pioneer Aviator) at the Jurby Church cemetery.
