August 12, 1946 – November 6, 2026
URWIN, Lynda Marie, passed away peacefully on November 6, 2026, at the age of 80.
Born in Orillia, Ontario, on August 12, 1946, Lynda spent most of her life in Guelph, Ontario, a community she was proud to call home and where she built a life rich in family, friendships and many happy memories.
Lynda dedicated her working life to teaching, a profession of which she was immensely proud. For Lynda, being an educator was much more than a career. It was an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. Through her many years in the classroom at Jean Little Public School, she shared her knowledge, curiosity and enthusiasm with generations of students and formed lasting friendships with colleagues along the way.
She took great pride in the work she did and in the many young lives she helped shape.
Naturally outgoing and social, Lynda genuinely enjoyed people. She had an easy ability to strike up a conversation, make a new friend and stay connected with those who became part of her life. Among the friendships she particularly treasured was a lifelong correspondence with her pen pal in New Zealand, a friendship maintained across the miles and over many years.
Lynda was also an avid reader and found great pleasure in books and the worlds and stories they opened to her. Her love of reading remained an important part of her life and reflected the curiosity and interest in the world that she carried with her throughout her years.
