I had the pleasure of knowing her when she was living at John Joseph Place in Owen Sound.
She always made my day and had such a kind word or encouraging quip to relay to me when I came in to see her or passing by her room.
She had a big heart and her kindness and care for others will never be forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Lynn’s family. My mom was Lynn’s roommate the past year. Lynn was a very kind and caring person. It was a privilege to get to know her.

Lynn knew everyone who went to her video store. Some here some passed.
That’s where I met her years back.
The most touching thing said to me the morning before she passed was, ” I’ll give Heather a hug for you.”
Powerfull words that made a difference.
Fly high my friend.
Angels walk.

Very sad to hear this news. Lynn was my beloved Aunt through my Uncle Ray Newland. We shared in many family gatherings and celebrations thru the years. I have many fond memories of her beautiful smiles and laughter. She was always so caring, understanding, and thoughtful❤️. She was a huge part of my life growing up and continued when we all moved to different locations
Every year we camped in Meaford we always made sure to stop in her video store for hugs and a visit.
She will be greatly missed by many.

Will always remember Aunt Lynn as a true lady with a kind heart and gentle spirit – always had a smile on her face . Great memories like learning to ski with her and Uncle Ray at the nearby snow hills and going back to their place for snacks, hot chocolate/ coffee and great conversation… dearly missed for sure .

To Lynn’s family; Lynn and I worked closely together years ago at Frito Lay. She was the best colleague ! Funny, efficient, high energy – Her nickname was Lynn da Bin – if it wasn’t filed or put away, into the bin!
I offer my condolences to her friends and family. Such a loss
