Condolences
I am so sorry to hear that Lynn has passed away. She always had a smile and a friendly word. My sympathy to her family.
I worked with Lynn at Foothills. Not only was she full of knowledge and clinical expertise that she shared willingly, but she was also kind and compassionate to everyone. Her goal was to try and provide people (nurses, physicians of every specialty, unit clerks, aides and housekeeping) with whatever they required in order to provide the best care possible to women and their families who came to Foothills for their maternity experience.
Lynn laughed a lot, and used humor to defuse tense situations, and just to have fun! Stories about her family often provided comic relief to us all.
Lynn taught me so much. I will miss her dreadfully.

To all my cousins and their families, my sincere condolences to you all at this difficult time. My memories of your Mum is that she was always smiling and she was such a lovely person. She truly was a beautiful person and will be sadly missed by us all, rest in peace Aunty Lynn
Lynn held a special place in our families hearts… and I’m so grateful for all the opportunities and experiences I was able to have as a young 15 year old travelling to Canada thanks to Lynn. I was so lucky to travel home with her almost every other year not to mention with Steve too when we came over for our honeymoon…memories such as camping under the stars, swimming in dog pound creek, being sold to the Indians by uncle mac, horse riding across the prairie..your dad barbequeing everything he could lay his hands on.. playing monopoly in the evenings and your dad repeatedly saying “ you have to speculate to accumulate.. Pat coming home from work shouting “ mammy get the kettle on let’s have a cup of tay “….watching your gran bottling and preserving everything she had grown for the winter…, calling the cows home with your grandpa.. .. then milking the cows, and delivering calves.. catching turkeys to weigh them… I could go on and on but there’s so much I have to thank her for…Canada was like my second home and Lynn was like a big sister/ second mum to me… I’m really going to miss her so much…sending so much love to you all xxx
Lynn was a great nurse and mentor. She was a very giving and kind and approachable person. You could always count on her to be calm and decisive in any and all obstetrical emergencies. I especially remember her kindness and compassion towards me on the day I found out, while on duty, that my husband Brad had just been diagnosed with Lymphoma. Brad had come to the unit to see me following his appointment. Lynn had me replaced and insisted on driving me home to SW Calgary, so I could be with Brad. She did not want me to drive myself home. My sincere condolences to you her children and grandchildren. Although I only met you once or twice over the years, I knew about you as she so lovingly spoke of you. I am heartbroken for your loss. She is in heaven with your dad now.
Hugs, Colette Huck
Thinking of all my cousins in Canada at this sad time. Aunty Lynn was a great Mother and a wonderful friend to all lucky to know her. We will miss her forever. I will always have her as a part of me! I took her name, as my confirmation name. Paddy was my godfather and Deirdre Celine Paddy didn’t have the same ring to it. Hugs and love to you all xxxx

Glad I saw Lynn last fall , hugs to all the family , so very sorry for your loss , Lynn will be in heaven now reunited with her lovely Pat , love from Chris and John Mabey
Lynn not only touched the lives of countless patients with her gentle touch, kindness and empathy but she also made a positive difference in the careers of numerous Students Nurses and Physicians. The world has lost a very special human being. Condolences to the entire family.
So sorry for your loss of your mother Lynn she was always a lovely lady
I worked with Lynn for 32 years on labor and delivery at the Foothills hospital until she retired August 22,2018. During that time she worked as a staff nurse, charge nurse, assistant manager and manager, filling in wherever and whenever needed by the unit. She kept her gentle, quiet yet determined spirit in the face of an ever-changing, and increasingly demanding time in healthcare. Lynn cared about the patients, the staff and the unit as a whole. She was such a lovely individual.
To her family, May the peace of Christ that passes all understanding be with you all at this difficult time. And may you rest in the assurance that she is resting in the presence of our heavenly Lord and Savior Christ.
Sincerely
Lori Reid
Dear Jackie, Gerry, Genean, Kevin and Colleen. I am so very sorry to hear of the death of your mom, she was a good friend and a fabulous nurse. I now live near Vancouver and unfortunately will not be able to attend on Wednesday. However I will certainly watch the live stream and be with you in spirit.
Just want you to know that I am thinking about all of you and your families at this very sad time.
Mrs. Hickey was always so warm and welcoming to me. I once visited her in her office and it truly is one of my favourite memories at FMC.
My family’s deepest condolences and prayers for her many loved ones.
Sincere condolences on the passing of your dear mother Lynn. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
May she rest in eternal peace and sleep with the angels.

Our sincerest condolences to all of Lynn’s family from the families of Roy and Anne Cameron of the Madden area.
We had the pleasure of growing up with Allan, Vickie and Lynn and have many fond memories of they and their extended families.
Dear Lynn`s family, you were way too young to exit this earth. May you be held in God`s arms. I have some fond memories of you working in L&D and bringing us brand new babies to the nursery for us to look after while you cared for Mom. Condolences to all your family and you will always have a warm spot in my heart.
