LYNN HAWORTH (HOOVER) It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Lynn Haworth, on November 26, 2017. She passed peacefully, while surrounded by her family, at the Riverview Health Centre. Lynn was born on June 5, 1943 at the Victoria Hospital in Winnipeg and grew up in St. Boniface. She also called Flin Flon home for some of her teenage years. She finally moved back to Winnipeg to take up a career in banking in the 1960s that did include a short stop in Brandon. Lynn's earlier positions in the finance industry included time spent with Ladco, K-Tel and the Province of Manitoba. Lynn entered the Certified General Accountants program in the late 1970s and after years of late nights, she proudly achieved her goal of graduating with her CGA degree in 1986. Following her business instincts, in 1989, Lynn made the bold move to become one of the first female practitioners in Manitoba to open her own public accounting practice, Haworth & Company. Lynn would tell you that while she had interests in golf, knitting, travel and going to watch her grandkids play or perform, she would always tell anyone that would listen that her greatest joy in life was spending time with her kids and their families. Lynn was predeceased by her grandparents Helen and Howard Fawcett, as well as her parents Gertrude and Robert Hoover. She is survived by her son Doug (Debbie), her son Ken (Kim), and her daughter Leanne. She is also survived by her grandchildren Kayla (Mike), Jenna (Ryan), Ben, Sam and Abby, as well as her great-grandchildren Chanel, Oliver, Elliot, Natalie and Theo, her sisters Diane, Linda, Elaine, Judy, Sandie and Grace and their husbands, as well as many cousins. A memorial service was held in her honour on Friday, December 1, 2017 at Neil Bardal Funeral Centre and she was interred at Brookside Cemetery. The family wishes to thank the staff of the Riverview Health Centre for their excellent care during her brief stay with them. For those who wish to make a donation in Lynn's honour to the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation it would be greatly appreciated. NEIL BARDAL FUNERAL CENTRE 204-949-2200 neilbardalinc.com

  • We saddened to see Lynn's picture in the newspaper. She was a wonderful person. It was a pleasure to see her every year. I also would bump into her at the Regent Safeway time to time. She was never in too much of a hurry to ask how things were and always remembered my name, my husband, and my boys. She will be remembered as a sweet lady. To the family, please accept our condolences. - Posted by: Jack and Dianne Lubinski (clients) on: Dec 05, 2017
