Lynda MORGAN

April 5, 2007

MORGAN Lynda Marion It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Lynda Morgan on April 1, 2007 at Red Deer Regional Hospital. She was sixty years of age. Lynda was the beloved wife of Terry and devoted mother of Stewart and Scott. She was predeceased by her parents, Archie and Sara Carlyle, and is survived by her siblings, Donna (Dean) Suggett of Edmonton, David (Patsy) Carlyle of Blackfalds, and Nancy (Rich) Bailey of Toronto as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. Born in Bentley on November 27, 1946, Lynda was raised on a farm in the Blindman River valley near Blackfalds. She moved to Edmonton to complete her studies and graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Arts in 1967. She and Terry were married in 1970 and, after a decade spent in Edmonton, settled on an acreage on Sylvan Lake. Lynda had a great fondness for children and stayed home to raise her own. Once they reached school age, she embarked on a career in education. She taught kindergarten for many years in Red Deer and the surrounding area, sending countless young students off to grade school on a good footing. She also took a particular interest in helping disadvantaged children. After retiring, she and Terry moved to a farm east of Red Deer. Lynda loved the outdoors. She was an avid gardener and passionate cyclist, swimmer, hiker and cross-country skier. She was also a lover of books and public radio, an enthusiastic traveller, and a legendary cook. Most of all, she will be remembered as a loving wife and mother and trusted friend. Her kindness, warmth, and infectious laugh will be missed by those who knew her. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 7th at the Harvest Centre at Westerner Park, Red Deer. As an expression of sympathy in lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the charity of one's choice. Lynda's family wishes to especially thank the nursing and medical staff of Red Deer Regional Hospital and Central Alberta Cancer Centre for their professional and compassionate care throughout her illness.
