After a three-year battle with cancer, the family is saddened to announce the passing of our treasured Lindy Gail Appleyard. Lindy passed away at home, with her husband Larry at her side, on the afternoon of July 15,2025.
Left to mourn her passing are her husband of 45 years Larry, and sons Nevin (Madeleine) and Brett (Viktoria). Also grieving her loss are her mother Lorraine Woods, brother Brad Woods (Laura), sister Patty Woods, brother Derek Woods, brother-in-law Wayne Appleyard (Cyndi), sister-in-law Ali Appleyard, and sister-in-law Darlene Appleyard. Lindy will also be missed by several nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends, who were very close to her and very much a part of her life.
Lindy was predeceased by her father Edwin Woods as well as brother-in-law Lyn Appleyard, brother-in-law Kevin Appleyard and brother-in-law Vernon Appleyard. Lindy was born in Swan River, Manitoba and moved to Stonewall with her family, at an early age. She received her early schooling in Stonewall, leading to several lifetime friendships. Upon graduating from high school, Lindy entered the University of Winnipeg on a scholarship. After a year at university, Lindy decided to take some time off from schooling and worked at the Stonewall Argus, while also teaching figure skating at several communities in the Interlake. Lindy married Larry on August 30, 1980, and together they made Stonewall home for the remainder of her life. After marrying Larry, Lindy decided to return to university, attending the University of Winnipeg and the University of Manitoba, receiving her education degree. This led to employment at Stonewall Centennial school where she taught grade six for several years. In 1988 Lindy gave up her teaching career to focus on becoming the greatest mother she could be for her two sons, Nevin (1988) and Brett (1992).
Those who knew Lindy knew that if she was involved in any activity she was completely engaged and dedicated. This included, but not limited to, teaching, coaching figure skating, speed skating volunteering, co-founding Stonewall Messy Church, and Sunday school teaching. However, most of all, Lindy was a devoted wife, mother, sister and daughter who put the needs of family ahead of all things. Lindy loved family events, often hosting, and was sure to get people together for the annual family hockey draft. Lindy lived life with purpose, passion, and an unwavering dedication to her loved ones. Her legacy of strength and kindness will continue to inspire us every day.
Lindy was so happy this past year to be well enough to attend the weddings of her two sons. Both Madeleine (Nevin) and Viktoria (Brett) were welcome additions to the family and Lindy felt she was blessed to be able to “pass the torch” with the greatest of confidence.
Funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 20 at the Stonewall Anglican Church, 435 First Avenue South, Stonewall with reception to follow at the Stonewall Legion, 459 Main Street, Stonewall. The service is viewable on Zoom via a link from the Stonewall Anglican Church website. In lieu of flowers, should one desire, consider a donation to Cancer Care Manitoba, the Stonewall Anglican Church “raise the roof” fund, or a charity of one’s choice. Also, consider a blood donation in Lindy’s memory.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the incredible team of care professionals and aides at Cancer Care Manitoba and the Stonewall hospital, who supported Lindy over the past several years. Their compassion, dedication and respect brought comfort and dignity in this difficult time, and we are deeply grateful for the care that they provided. Also special thanks to Lindy’s family and close friends who provided much support and comfort during this difficult journey. Thanks to Ken Loehmer of Ken Loehmer Funeral Services (204-886-0404) and Reverend James Bardsley for their care and compassion.

Her quiet strength, thoughtful nature, and love of reading brought inspiration and comfort to anyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
