It is with deepest sorrow that our family announces the passing of our Lynn, on December 12, 2024 at Casselhome, at the age of 69. After a lengthy and courageous battle, Lynn is now at rest.

Born in North Bay in 1955 to Doris Spivey (Rees) and Ronald Spivey (both predeceased). She will be greatly missed by her sister Valerie Spivey-Tessier (Randy Tessier), her nephew Jeremy Jodouin an his son Oliver, and her niece, Kyleea Jodouin, to whom she was like a grandmother.

She was predeceased by her eldest sister, Barbara Colbert (Arnold, surviving) in 2018. Barb’s children Rob Colbert (children Tyler and Tracy), Kevin Colbert (children Kylie and Addy and their mother Carey). Chris Colbert (Rachel) (children Trent, Dominic and Jessica). 

Her life long friends Rachelle Raymond and Lynn Desmaris have been with her in good times and supported her through her health battles. Lynn will be remembered by many cousins North Bay, the East Coast, West Coast and the UK. 

She obtained a BA in Psychology and her ECE diploma. She spent many years working at CIBC, Independent Grocers, and No Frills.

Lynn will be sadly missed by her Guiding Community especially the ladies of the Trefoil Guild.

As a young girl, Lynn was a member of the original YMCA Titan Swim Team and was a life long friend with George Holmes, (predeceased) her coach.

She was a member of the Widdifield S.S. band playing the flute. She loved animals especially her dog Kelsey and Val’s dog Sadie.

Friends may call at Martyn Funeral Home on Wednesday, December 18th, from 2:00-4:00 pm. As per Lynn’s wishes, cremation will take place and she will be buried in the spring with her parents.
