Lynda “Lynn” Mary Rowdon

We feel blessed to have known Lynn for many decades. As fellow educators we enjoyed sharing ideas and strategies for use with our students . We had so many happy times together as we both raised two daughters, and enjoyed spending time with our sons-in-law and grandchildren. Together our families enjoyed some wonderful holidays together in sunny climates. Lynn was a loving daughter, wife, mother and grandmother. Her courage and tenacity were evident as she faced her medical challenges. Her creativity was evident in both her artwork and her gardens. She will continue to live on in the lives of all those who had the benefit of her instruction, her devotion, and her love. With our deepest sympathy to Don, Julie, Roger, Laura, Adam and grandchildren. Love, Joanne and Ken Atkinson, Megan, Greg, Tom, Katie and their families

Don, I’m so sorry to hear about Lynn. She will be missed. I’m happy I was able to see you both recently, even if it was not under good circumstances. Lynn was one of the kindest souls I have come across, her laugh was contagious and she always had a way of staying positive in the most stressful situations. She was truly a gem, may her memories live on.

I was so sorry to learn of Lynn's passing and send my sincere condolences to Don and family. I worked with Lynn as an administrator at Rick Hansen school for a couple of years in the late 90s.

Our sincere sympathies Don to you & your family. May the wonderful memories help comfort you at this difficult time.

Don. Our deepest condolences to you and the family. Richard and Jane

Don, we send our sincere condolences on the loss of your life partner, Lynn. Words alone cannot relieve the pain of your loss, but please know that our thoughts are with you. Memories live on, cherish them.

Hi Don: Very sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. All the best to you and your family during this difficult time. Take care and take care of each other. TO

Don, we are so sad to hear this news. Lynn was an absolute delight; always positive, with such a warm smile and a mischievous sparkle in her eye. She loved a good laugh. Lynn was a compassionate educator in every role she took on; she had the gift of a creative spark (I know my mom loved having her in the Garden Club), and she loved her family so dearly. We are thinking of you and the girls and the whole family, and wishing you strength in such a sad time.

Dear Don, So saddened to hear of the loss of your dear wife Lynn. Our condolences go out to you, Julie and Laura and their families. We remember the good times we had with you and Lynn in sunnier climes and out west. Lynn was such a talented person with her artwork, excellent meals and beautiful gardens. She was a generous and caring lady. Sincerely, Carol and Peter Chapman

Dear Don, Julie, Laura and family, Donna and I were very saddened to learn of Lynn’s passing. We will always remember Lynn as an amazing wife, superb mother, exceptional teacher and friend. Our world is a better place because Lynn was with us. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Donna and Bob

Our most sincere condolences to Don, Julie and Roger, Laura and Adam, and their beautiful families. Always the kind and devoted wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and dear friend, Lynn will be truly missed. The countless occasions we spent with Don and/or Lynn, over decades of friendship, were always marked by her love, laughter, generosity, and wisdom (and a little mischief). Perhaps among her superpowers were the authenticity in which she provided years of continual mentorship, and the genuine concern shown for our well-being. My warmest sentiments revolve around the breadth and depth of our conversations, particularly about our favorite topic which was family. Keenly interested and curious - a patient listener, capable questioner, and thoughtful chatterer – Lynn enticed me to think more deeply and express more openly. In doing so, she revealed how she valued above all else the rich connections and relationships that her and Don lovingly cultivated with their adult children, their husbands and Hallie, Leah, Jack and Sam. Lynn did indeed approach rock star status (Laura’s words) as she battled her cancer with optimism, tenacity and resilience. We trust Lynn is now resting in peace, and maybe reveling a little, in the land of beautiful and creative souls! With warmth and love, Terry and Liz Gonser

Hey Don - very sorry to read of your wife’s passing de

Fond memories of Lynn at the Garden Club of London. She was one of the most creative artistic ladies I have known. She was a willing helper and a great teacher for our horticulture part of our club. She will be missed. My sincere condolences to Don and her children. Lorraine
