Joe and Lynda both went to Port Colborne high school and reconnected and became sweethearts when they were home for the summer between third and fourth year university. They had a two-year long-distance relationship before marrying on July 4th, 1964.
In retirement Lynda and Joe moved from Ontario to Qualicum Beach, BC, in 1994, where they built the home of their dreams. Boating, book clubs, ElderCollege courses, serving on the ElderCollege board for 6-years, and walking filled her days. Time with her daughters and grandsons filled her heart with joy.
Lynda had an unparalleled gift of creating connection with everyone in her life from family and friends to one-off encounters with people while out walking or shopping. She made everyone feel special, seen, heard, and appreciated.
