Lynda Marie Bowyer Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Lynda Marie Bowyer (formerly Daniel Murray Bowyer) of Muskoka Ontario on June 21st 2023
Lynda was born on April 16th 1943 to Sidney W Bowyer and Anne Bowyer/Gaudet (nee Hollinshead). Although Lynda was born in East York, her family's ties to Muskoka helped enforce a special connection for Lynda. It was this connection that drew Lynda to proudly call Muskoka home where she lived most of her life surrounded by family and many friends.
Lynda was predeceased by her daughter Leeann Bowyer, parents Sidney W. Bowyer, Anne Hollinshead and Ellen Bowyer, her brothers Sydney S. Bowyer, Rick Smither and Gerry Ingram, sister Karen Trenholm and granddaughter Jocelyn Leigh.
Lynda will be desperately missed by her loving family: Angela (Randy) McCarthy, children Chadrick and Cassidy, Kelli (Anne) Bowyer, his children Jessica and Cole, Jennifer (Kevin) Bryant, her daughter Katelyn and Leighann (Eugene) Miller, her children Haley and Josh. Sisters: Jaynellen Bowyer, Gail (Glenn) Soper, Kim Gaudet, Dodi Gaudet. Brothers: Peter (Debbie) Bowyer, Barry (Utra) Hebden, Reggie (Laura) Gaudet, Bobby Gaudet, Rick Gaudet
Her many great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and godson, all of whom would not be here without two loving wives, Catherine and Maxine (Bill)
Lynda will also be greatly missed by all her friends in Muskoka and the four corners of the world.
Lynda was a stubborn force to be reckoned with. She was larger than life and unique in every way. She made an impact on everyone she met but most importantly, she was a loving parent, sibling, partner, grandparent and friend. She was truly amazing and to be loved by her was to be truly blessed. There is so much more that should be said, but in the end, what Lynda did was make our world brighter.
Rest easy Lynda, we know you are up there singing and laughing with those who went before.
There will be a private family internment on July 16th followed by a celebration of life in Huntsville at the Royal Canadian Legion, 1-21 Veterans Way from 2 – 5 pm.
We invite all who knew and loved Lynda to join us for light refreshments while we share stories and memories of Lynda.
