PAVEY, Lynne (Elkins) Passed away peacefully at home on January, 22, 2010 after a courageous battle with cancer. Lynne touched countless lives, and will be remembered for her bright smile, warmth and kindness, her passion for singing and for life. She will be dearly missed by her soul mate and life partner Gerry, her loving sister Lorraine, her devoted children Heather and Michael, and her much-adored grandsons Chase and Connor. She will also be missed by her cousin Rita (Bill), her niece Marie (Bruce), her entire extended family and many cherished friends. Special thanks and appreciation to Dr. Edmunds, Dr. Klimo and staff, and the nurses at North Shore Home Health 5 West for their compassionate support and loving care of Lynne. A service to honour Lynne will be held on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 2:00 pm at St Andrew's & St Stephen's Presbyterian Church (2641 Chesterfield Ave., North Vancouver, BC). For those who desire, donations to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.

My sincere sympathy to all the family including her sister Lorraine. I knew them both at grade school and high school. Lynne was always "on the go" running, rather than walking, and always with a big smile for everyone. I last saw her at our 50th school reunion where she appeared much the same as I remembered her, smiling and sharing stories with friends. On that day, she was the picture of health and well-being! I think of her often these days and thank her for her friendship.

The Family:
I have only just heard about Lynne's death and find it hard to think of anyone but the sparkling lassie at the Reunion in 2007 - 50 years after I knew her as Lynne Elkins. She was a 'sparkler' then too.

My concolences to you Gerry, Lorraine, Michael and Heather and Chase and Connor.
Lynne and I were friends from Grade 1-12, and worked together after graduation. My last e-mail from her was Oct. 30/09 at which time I realized she was too sick to continue.
Her amazing spirit and energy were wonderful to witness. I never did manage to keep up with her quick way of speaking!
We will all miss her but are better for having known her.

I had the good fortune to work with Lynne for several years at BC Tel/Telus. She taught me a lot. She was a dynamo at work but always took time to listen. She left this world a better place by being such a positive part of so many lives. My condolences to all of Lynne's loved ones.

I am so sorry to hear about Lynne. I worked with her at BC Tel/TELUS, and I will always remember her compassion, her ability to get things done, and her laugh. She had that amazing ability to brighten any group that she was part of.

Whenever I think of Lynne it is with a smile on her face. She brought a positive attitude to everything she did and was a joy to be around.

Lynne and I made contact again in 2006, just before our Lord Byng Secondary School graduating class 50-year reunion in June 2007. What a wonderful spirit she had and it was such fun to tour our High School and celebrate with the other "grads" that June. My deepest sympathy to all the family.

It saddens me to hear of Lynne's passing. As a co-worker at BC Tel I admired Lynne's ability to face any adversity with a positive spirit and the will to overcome. She was able to garnered the respect of all who had the pleasure of working with her.

Our memories of Lynne go back to our years as teenagers together and then, of course, during our 6 years at Southmount.

We had hoped to attend the service but unfortunately, someone from our congregation has been Promoted to Glory and, it would seem, the service is the same day.

Be assured of our love and prayers!

Dear Gerry, Heather, Michael and family
I send my condolences and prayers for your loss. Lynne was a most spirited, dynamic, bright and caring woman. Throughout our time at BCTEL/TELUS, Lynne always took the time to raise folks up and helped them bring their best to the world. She made a major difference in my life and for so many others. She was a true treasure on life's journey.

Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of a great lady. I had the privilege of working with Lynne numerous times over her career at TELUS/BC TEL. I think she was the original "multi-tasker"! I don't think I've met anyone else who could accomplish so much, so fast, in so little time, all the while maintaining her sunny smile and happy disposition. I will carry lovely memories of Lynne. Take care and God bless you all.
