Lynda Mary Duggan

On Thursday, November 10th, at the age of 95, Linda Duggan (nee Dunford) passed away. She closed her eyes in sleep surrounded by family and holding her daughter’s hand. Linda, known to all that loved her by Lyn, was an incredibly compassionate and loving woman. She carried herself with grace and elegance followed by a wisp of humor. The second daughter of Francis Walter and Lillian May Dunford (nee Jones), Lyn was born in Penrhiwfer, South Wales, UK, where she grew up with her parents and five siblings.

As a young woman Lyn fell in love with Donald Duggan (pre-deceased) and after a short courtship they wed in 1957, embarking on a new journey together. Leaving Wales, they emigrated to Canada and settled in Toronto working as building superintendents. In 1965 they moved to their own little house in Bramalea. A few years later Lyn and Don welcomed a beloved baby girl, and their family was complete. Lyn has always been a compassionate friend to many, inviting them into her home to share a meal and warm conversation, especially during the holidays. Lyn was a conscientious and hardworking woman, being both soft mannered and strong willed, a combination very few have mastered.

Lyn is survived by her loving daughter Donna-Lee, son-in-law Rick and treasured granddaughter Rhianna, her sister Kay (Mike) and extended family and friends. Lyn is predeceased by her sisters Eirwen, Norma, Denise, and brother Ken.

Many thanks to the Region of Peel 911 and Paramedic Services, Brampton Palliative Care team and the staff at Greenway Retirement Village who showed compassion and respected Lyn’s dignity.

To honour Lyn’s memory please perform a kind act of service for someone in need.
