Passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family on Wednesday, October 6th at Niagara Long Term Care Home in her 77th year. Most cherished and loved Auntie to Corrine (Sean) McKernan, Maureen (Tim) Reynolds & Steven Cox. Beloved & proud Great Auntie to Zach (Kaylee), Josh (Stephanie) & Noah (Christine) McKernan and Marlie (Sam) & Samantha Reynolds. Very special Great-Great Auntie to Cian, Elsie & Shea McKernan.
Predeceased by her loving parents James & Freda Shires (nee Welland) and her beloved sister Diane & brother-in-law Ken Cox who, along with her many special canine companions have welcomed her to heaven with loving open arms.
After a long career at Scotiabank, Lynda settled into retirement. She enjoyed spoiling her dogs, time with family and her daily car outings with Diane (they were fondly known as the “Snoop Sisters”). In her later years she remained an active resident at her long term care sitting on Resident's Council and volunteering whenever the need arose.
As per Auntie’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A graveside service will take place at Pleasantview Memorial Gardens, 2250 RR 20, Fonthill, Ontario on Saturday, October 16 at 2:00 p.m. Family and friends are welcome to arrive between 1 and 1:30 p.m. at Hulse & English Funeral Home & Chapel, 75 Church St. St. Catharines, where we will then process together to the cemetery for the service at 2 p.m.
If desired, donations can be made to the Lincoln County Humane Society in Lynda’s name.
