Lynda Carole Nitchie (née Hassall)
September 18, 1946 - May 23, 2024
Lynda Carole Nitchie, a charasmatic and beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, sadly passed away in the early morning on Thursday, May 23, 2024, after a brief but courageous fight with cancer, at the age of 77. In her final days, she was surrounded by her immediate family, whom she loved dearly. With her two daughters by her side, Lynda peacefully left this world, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.
Lynda is lovingly survived by her two devoted daughters, Tammi (Dave Mackenzie) and Lori (Matthew Macleod); her cherished granddaughters, Ava Mackenzie and Avianna Enright; her brothers, David (Janet) Hassall and Danny (Jacqueline) Hassall; as well as her niece Tanya Hassall, and nephews Greg, DJ, and David Hassall, who were all deeply loved and cherished by her.
In Lynda’s memory, her family takes comfort in the knowledge that she is now reunited with her loved ones who passed before her, including her loving mother Jean Hassall and beloved brother Gary Hassall.
Born in Tillsonburg, Ontario on September 18, 1946, Lynda is fondly remembered for her infectious laugh, sharp wit, incredible strength, and timeless beauty. With a heart of gold, Lynda was renowned for her generosity, always giving more than she received.
Lynda’s passion for creativity started in her early days as a hairdresser, where she took pride into making others look and feel their best. But her true gift was with words – she had a way with language that could inspire, uplift, and move people to tears. She wrote poetry and songs, and even wrote a catchy jingle that made its way onto the radio. But perhaps her best work was the school speeches she wrote for her daughters that won them awards.
Everyone who knew Lynda will deeply miss her but continue to celebrate her life and spirit with gratitude and love.
Rest in peace, Mom. Your spirit will forever be with us, guiding us to live with love, laughter, and strength that you embodied every day.

I remember the first time I met Tammi's mom. I was around 9 or 10, maybe 11. She was wearing a long white gown, her hair was up in a soft bun. She smiled at me, and I thought she was one of the most beautiful women I'd ever met. I also remember the day she said I was pretty and had nice teeth. Up until then, I never saw myself as pretty until she told me I was. ❤️
I'm happy I got to know you and how we would sneak to garage and talk about our kids I will miss you dearly Rest In Peace Love Heather
The loss of my Mom has left a huge hole in my heart. My Mom had such a big personality, amazing wit and sense of humour and most importantly a kind generous heart. Its going to be so hard to navigate through life without her. I still have not processed losing her and wish this was just a bad dream. Mom, I hope you are dancing with the stars and free of illness and pain. I will continue to talk to you every night until the end of time. Rest peacefully Mom, I love you to the moon and back again.
We’re deeply sorry for the loss of your mother and sister. We have so many great memories of good times with Lynda when she was in Sudbury. Rest well old friend.
Condolences to you and your family Lori ❤️

It's been a few weeks since I last spoke to you, held your hand, and looked into your eyes. I remember thinking then that I had to remember every detail of the moment to cherish because I wouldn't have the chance again. When I close my eyes, I see yours, and although you couldn't talk, your eyes said everything I needed to hear. Losing you has been hard. The thought of never hearing your voice or laugh makes my heart hurt beyond words. You were funny, strong, and so beautiful, and I will remember the way you were forever. I know you are in a better place, Mom. I just want you to know how much I love you and how loved you were by so many others. I hope you are smiling and dancing among the stars. Love forever, Lori
