Lynn and Barclay raised two amazing sons who were very loving, kind and respectful to their parents.
Lynn had a very special bond with her oldest granddaughter Keely and cherished Madden and Parker as well. She was so proud of them and their individual accomplishments. You could see from her posts on Facebook that she was a very proud Grandma. She was also a special Auntie to her nieces and nephews and the best sister you could hope to have.
Lynn was born and raised in Assiniboia and kept ties with lifelong friends. She kept up with many of her friends through Facebook. She had an amazing memory for people and events.
Lynn married Barclay Wood in January 1967 when she was 18 and he was 23. Their son Scott was born in 1968 and Chad in 1969. They took up residence in Assiniboia for a short while, then moved to Estevan and in Sept 1969 they moved to Victoria, BC.
Lynn began working at the Gorge Road Health Centre in long term care. Later, one of her managers, seeing Lynn’s potential, hired her to go with her to Oak Bay Lodge as Director of Activities at a beautiful senior care facility. The residents loved Lynn, her caring ways, personalized approach and sense of humor. Lynn stayed there til her retirement.
Lynn retired early to care for her husband who had been diagnosed with IPF and required a lung transplant. They moved to Abbotsford, BC to be close to the Vancouver hospital.
Lynn showed incredible strength and resiliency in caring for Barclay. Barclay passed away in April 2009. They had been married 42 years.
Lynn moved to Mission, BC in 2015 and had many travel adventures with Carlos Avila and friends from Mission. She enjoyed ATVing, going to Mexico and Portugal among other trips.
Lynn was diagnosed with IPF a few years ago and more recently with lung cancer. She tackled these diagnoses with grace and courage. Saskatchewan Prairie girls are a hardy group. No complaining, no self pity, just live the best life you can given what is happening. Lynn was sweet and kind and tough as nails. She loved us all unconditionally.
It was her wish to spend the end of the her life in her own home and that wish was fulfilled by her loving and caring sons, Scott and Chad and incredible daughter in law, Angie. They enabled the rest of the family to be able to Facetime with Lynn a few days before she passed to tell her how much she meant to all of us and how much we loved her.
Thanks to family and friends for your love and support.
