Obituary ~ Lynne Mathieson 1948-2009
Lynne Margret Mathieson passed away peacefully in the High Prairie Hospital with her husband, Hugh, and daughter, Sheila, by her side on Sept. 10, 2009, at the age of 61 years.
Lynne was born May 1, 1948, and raised in Thunder Bay, Ont. She was the oldest daughter of Cyril and Lillian Graver.
Lynne loved life to the fullest. She loved seeing the world with her husband, Hugh, by traveling to places like Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and St. John, N.B. They then made the long journey to High Prairie, a place they would call home.
When Lynne was diagnosed with terminal cancer, it still did not stop her from fulfilling her dream of going to see the coast of British Columbia. The trip would be cut short due to her health and she had to go back to Alberta. It wasn’t until then that the doctors gave her a short time to live.
Lynne is survived by: her loving husband, Hugh Mathieson; her daughters Sheila, and Sharron (Paul) or Thunder Bay; her stepchildren Lori, Shane, Richard, Megan and Kristy (Jeremy), all of Regina, and Annalee (John) of Foxvalley; her loving grandchildren, Brenden, 14, Austin, 11, Ethan, 5, and Elliot, five months, of Thunder Bay; her older grandchildren, Austin, 11, Abby, 6, Kaeli, 2, and Sydney, five months, all of Regina; Cody, 12, Justin, 11, or Foxvalley; and she will be sadly missed by all her friends in her hometown of Thunder Bay.
She was predeceased by: her first husband, Stanley McChristie; oldest daughter Susan McChristie; and her parents, Cyril and Lillian Graver.
Lynne will always be remembered for the person who had a big heart and had a way of letting people in and helping those in need. She was loved deeply by her family and from everyone she met. She will be deeply missed and deeply loved by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.
A private gathering for the family was held with a public service following.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in honour of Lynne Mathieson to the charity of one’s choice to Box 228, High Prairie, AB. as an expression of sympathy.
