Lynne grew up in the west end of Winnipeg and attended area schools before graduating from St. Mary's Academy. Lynne eventually settled in St. James where she was a longtime resident. Lynne worked for over 20 years for the City of Winnipeg in various departments before retiring from the City Treasurer's Department in 2002. Lynne was able to spend her retirement years with her husband John where the two of them embarked on many adventures together. They spent winters on the coast and had many trips south of the boarder. Lynne enjoyed their many friendships and the memories that were created. They shared a common passion for their garden and embraced their time together. For Lynne, the true joy of her life was her grandchildren. She was their greatest supporter and they were the joy of her life. The family would like to thank Dr. George and the staff of the 3rd Floor South at the Grace Hospital for the outstanding care and compassion during Lynne's final days.
