She purchased a block in Stuart Park where she started a chicken farm.[2] Loy was evacuated to Sydnay after the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese in 1942. She returned to Darwin, working a market garden on the Stuart Highway outside Darwin.[1] She is remembered as an elderley lady in traditional Chinese trousers, jacket and hat, who walked each day from Stuart Park to the centre of Darwin and sold produce as the Rapid Creek Markets.

A portrait of Loy painted by artist Geoff la Gersche was entered in the Archibald Prize in 1979.[3] Loy died on 20 August 1980 at the age of 96.[4] Her funeral in 1980 was reportedly one of the biggest and longest in Darwin's history.[5] She is buried in the Gardens Road Cemetery.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Carment|first1=editor, David|title=Northern Territory dictionary of biography|date=2008|publisher=Charles Darwin University Press|location=Darwin|isbn=9780980457810|edition=Rev.|url=http://www.territorystories.nt.gov.au/handle/10070/260154|accessdate=29 January 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Loy, Lum}}2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Kim Lee Toy|url=http://www.territorystories.nt.gov.au/handle/10070/217891|website=Territory Stories|publisher=Northern Territory Library|accessdate=29 January 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article122279917 |title=The women from the north: larger than life but unknown |newspaper=The Canberra Times |volume=63, |issue=19,624 |location=Australian Capital Territory, Australia |date=1 July 1989 |accessdate=29 January 2017 |page=20 |via=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Granny Lum Loy dies|url=http://hdl.handle.net/10070/210650|accessdate=29 January 2017|agency=Darwin Star|publisher=via Northern Territory Library|date=21 August 1980}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Middlemast|first1=Anne-Marie|title=Granny Lum Loy remembered|url=http://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2010/08/13/2982301.htm|accessdate=29 January 2017|agency=ABC Radio Darwin|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|date=29 October 2010}} 4 : 1884 births|1980 deaths|People from Darwin, Northern Territory|Women in agriculture |
