Lynda Isabella Delaurier

Passed away in Victoria, BC on November 5, 2015 at the age of 66 years. She leaves to cherish her memory her loving family; husband Derwyn Ephraim Jones of 40 years; 2 sisters, June Trotter of White Rock, BC and Alice Nelson of Salt Lake City, Utah; and numerous other relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her father John Edward Delaurier in 1976, mother Isabella Dorothy Flora Delaurier (nee Gardner) in 2004 and brother William John Delaurier in 2012. Lynda was born in Almonte, Ontario on August 11, 1949 and retained an intense love of the ancestral farm throughout her life.
Lynda worked for BC Telephone/Telus for over 33 years and retired in 2002. She approached retirement with enthusiasm and eagerness to devote her considerable talents to the textile arts, painting and jewelry making. It also gave her time to garden and to make annual trips, each several months long, to the family farm in Almonte. It gave her great joy to fulfil a lifelong dream and buy the 300 acre farm in 2007 and bring it back to life. Lynda lived her life with a quiet enthusiasm, determination, humour and forthrightness that carried her through to the end.
By request, there will not be a funeral service. Internment will be in Ontario at the Auld Kirk Cemetary, Almonte at a later date where she will be "Home at last". Memorial donations may be made to the Hospice Society or charity of your choice.
