Lynda Kingsland passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer, at the West Parry Sound Health Centre, on Thursday, September 7th, 2023.

Loving mother of James. Beloved daughter of the late Lawrence “Lawrie” and Anne Kingsland. Dear sister of Janet Fellner and her husband Terry; and Kelly Kingsland. Lynda will be greatly missed by her nephew Mike Fellner (Stephanie); niece Trisha Fellner (Greg); great nephews Ethan, Rhyse and Levi; and great nieces Mackayla and Sydney. Fondly remembered by her Uncle Peter and Aunt Marg, other family, many friends, and “The Boys”.

Lynda was a longtime resident of Tall Timbers in Seguin township. Spending summers and holidays at the family compound on the beautiful shores of Lake Joseph. Growing up in Toronto, she attended Western University for her BA, where she met and has kept in touch with many friends, then to Western Michigan for her master’s degree in Personnel & Counselling. She worked at Centennial College in the Centre for Students with Disabilities, using her education and natural compassion to guide students to achieve their goals and she was very respected among her colleagues. While working she continued her education earning a Bachelor in Post Secondary Education from Brock.

Lynda loved the cottage, especially her porch at Redwing, that was always full of music, good food, laughter and most importantly love! Nights of euchre, live music, laughs, fashion shows, the porch people were always up to something fun. With a view of her favourite tree, she would track the changes of time with yearly pictures. You could always find a smile, a cup of coffee and an open ear on Lynda’s porch. Her legacy will live on through James who shares his mother’s best qualities.

A woman of many passions, Lynda loved to entertain and delight with her culinary skills, her Christmas party was a coveted invite among her friends and family. Singer, songwriter, and musician, she blessed us with her talent and heartfelt melodies.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the ICU and palliative nurses at WPSGH, Dr. Kallie Stapleton and Dr. Heather Ambraska, whose compassion and care made her comfortable in her final days.

As was Lynda’s wish, cremation has taken place.

Condolences

Our sincerest condolences to James, Janet, Terry and Kelly. Sending love to all

My sincere condolences to all.

I knew Lynda through our careers in the Ontario Colleges system of counseling & disabilities services. She was passionate about helping students was a super role model for her colleagues in the field. She care so much & walked the talk to make postsecondary education accessible. I loved her enthusiastic energy, her enjoyment of life, her humour, her musical abilities, her friendship & ability to have fun. To me she exuded love. I only was a her a few times a year and always looked forward to renewing friendship. I sincerely wish I had been able to enjoy her company more and see her have a long happy retirement. Her son and the extended family & her closest friends must always remember she made the world a much better place. Sending love & positive feelings to all her family & friends.

My condolences to her entire family. I first met Lynda when she was just a little girl living down the street. She was a sweet and giggly little girl and one of my favorites to baby sit. When I ran into her again, she was all grown up and ready to tackle the world. She still loved to laugh and she laughed a lot. I am sure she will be sorely missed by all.

Lynda had the brightest smile and infectious laugh. My deepest condolences to Kelly, Janet and family and particularly Lynda's son James. Martha Price (Downey)

Such a great loss to all of her great friends and family. Thinking of you James Kelly Janet and Terry. My fondest memories are the great times we had at tall Timbers with the Kingsland family.

Janet,
Our sincere condolences to you and your family at this difficult time.

Sending my condolences to Lynda's family and friends. May you soon find comfort in the memories that you have of Lynda.

I first met Lynda in residence at King’s College. She was lovely and warm. She shared her musical talents and encouraged us to sing with her. The best “concerts” were late at night.
Please accept my sincere condolences. This bright light may no longer shine on her, but look up as she is shining from above.

My condolences to Linda’s family. Linda was the sweetest person I’ve known. She was generous to a fault and shared her good fortune with anyone in need. A beautiful soul and a cherished friend.

We are deeply saddened to have recently learned of Lynda’s passing. We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and share that Lynda was always such a kind and thoughtful soul to Andrew and I. We will remember all the good times we shared and miss her bright shining light.
