LYNN (MERRILYNNE) BJORNSON
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Lynn (Merrilynne) Bjornson at the age of 68. She passed peacefully on June 24, 2023, with family by her side.
Lynn was born in Arborg, the eldest of five children and grew up on the family farm in Framnes. She loved growing up on the farm and regaled friends and family with many tales and reminiscences about her early years.
After finishing high school in Arborg, Lynn moved to Winnipeg where she attended Red River College and the University of Manitoba, eventually becoming a physiotherapist.
Everyone knew Lynn to be selfless, kind, and caring. She was always thoughtful of others, respectful, patient, and was unconditional in her love for her family, friends and animals.
She was predeceased by her parents, Runa and Franklin; grandparents; numerous aunts and uncles; and her precious dog Hailey. Left to cherish her memory is her partner of 33 years, Julie; and a large and loving circle of friends and family.
Lynn and Julie were grateful for the many family members, friends and neighbours who helped out during this trying period. Their gifts of time, food, help with the house and garden, running errands, and emotional support will be forever appreciated.
Lynn’s Celebration of Life will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 13, 2023, at the Fort Whyte Alive Centre, 1961 McCreary Rd., Winnipeg. A private interment will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, it was Lynn’s wish that donations may be made in her memory to CancerCare Manitoba, https://www.cancercare.mb.ca/Ways-To-Help/donate
We kindly request that her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by visiting her tribute page at EthicalDeathCare.com. A photo-biography as well as memories and stories published by those who knew her, are available there.

I was only thinking of Lynn the other day and now that I have read she has passed away, it saddens my heart. I knew Lynn in the 70s and 80s and she was the kindest person, gentle and loving. My sincere condolences though the time has past, to her family and friends. Kathryn - Posted by: Kathryn Mellen (Friend from Lynn's past in Winnipeg) on: Feb 22, 2024
