LYNN IRWIN

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

• To Drew, and all Lynn's family: I was sad to learn of her sudden passing. She was a good and dear friend to me ever since she brought me home with her from camp that summer in 1968. For the next 35 years Lynn and her mom stood by me through thick and thin. That's just who they were, and without them I know I would never have managed as I did. My biggest regret in moving from Toronto was losing that close contact. I hope I'll be with them both again some day. Lynn and Verna, always remembered, always loved. - Posted by: Joanne Farnsworth (Friend) on: Sep 03, 2025

• Decades ago with some trepidation, who's going to be my new General Manager? Lynn introduced herself and said we need a party to kick things off. I said, "Giant Tiger & The Dollar Store have plenty of cheap party favors." Great, Lynn said, "Let's go shopping." We clicked instantly & life would never be the same. Never a dull moment. Every event, every moment was an epic story as told by Lynn Irwin. I could write a book, but I'll keep it short. Lynn was not just social and outgoing, she understood me, and I will always love her for that. The last time I saw Lynn she drove from Winnipeg and had dinner at my place in Stouffville. She made it clear this could be a last time I see her, but don't think so. She came to me very recently. She sat beside me, and leaned over in my face, in that manner she had, with an ear to ear grin and boisterous laugh - that's all, that's enough, just to let me know Lynn is still Lynn and everything is OK. Good bye old friend.💕 I still have my Swarovski Crystal Swan.🦢 - Posted by: Michael Shields (Friend/ co-worker) on: Jun 01, 2025

• Dear Adam and family: we were so sorry to hear of Lynn’s passing. I was lucky to work with Lynn in the seniors living community as her director of care. We worked very closely for 5 years and had a lot of fun doing our jobs. We remained friends afterwards, having dinners together and road trips in Ontario. I always respected Lynn’s common sense approach to problems and sense of humour. She will be missed. Unfortunately we will not be able to come to the celebration of life but will think of you on June 1.Love from your Ontario friends, Kathy and Harold Hutchings. - Posted by: Kathy Hutchings (Friend) on: May 28, 2025

• To Adam and Lynn's family; I was deeply saddened to hear of Lynn's passing and offer my sincere condolences. I only knew Lynn in the last couple of years when she joined our PEO group. Immediately she had such a positive influence and was ready to pitch in and help our philanthropic activities. She will be greatly missed and I will cherish the memories I have with her, her willing spirit and desire to help others. May your memories and time spent together bring you comfort in this difficult time and know that she impacted many people in a positive and loving way. - Posted by: Desiree Downey (Sister in PEO) on: May 12, 2025

• I am so sorry to hear of Lynn's passing and my heart goes out to her beautiful family. She was a lovely, kind, and thoughtful person. I was lucky enough to spend some holidays and other momentous occasions with her. Lynn, like her mother, knew how to host a great event. Many hours were spent discussing the worlds problems, our shared love of the arts, cooking, and cups of tea. A few of my favorite memories include the annual Christmas cookie baking, spending time planting in the garden out back, and attending local music events. Although I will not be in attendance for the service, I will have a cup of tea in her honor. Pinkie's up. Lynn, you will be greatly missed. I am grateful to have spent as much time with you as I did. God bless. - Posted by: Victoria (Friend) on: May 09, 2025

• So sorry to hear about Lynn's passing. I only had the opportunity to meet her recently but was touched by her lovely demeaner. She had a spark of mischief that I recognized right away! My condolences to her family and friends - I am sure your memories will help support you in your grief. - Posted by: Corrinne Mitchell (Friend) on: May 07, 2025

• We were both so sorry to hear of Lynn’s death. We have fond memories of family get-togethers in Toronto and a fun trip with Lynn in Barbados (she drove our mini-moke like a maniac and was the life of the party!) More recently, we had a few lovely dinners with Lynn and Verna with lots of laughter. She was such a devoted daughter and such a proud mother. Our hearts go out to all of you at this sad time. - Posted by: Julie and Joanne Wildgoose (Friends) on: Apr 26, 2025
