CRANSTON

CRANSTON, Lynda Lee (Hoffman) 'A Truly Great Mother and Wife' Died peacefully September 14, 2003 in her home after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Her 51 years were too short and she will be missed. Beloved mother to Jarrett, Galen and Jocelyn (deceased) and cherished wife of Goldie Cranston. All of us are better people for having had the privilege of sharing her life with us. Predeceased by her parents, Charles (Bud) Hoffman and Irene Hoffman (Connor), both originally of Montreal. Lynda is survived by her brother, Barry Hoffman and his family of Burlington. Lynda is also predeceased by her parents-in-law Monte 'Mr. C.' and Stuart Cranston of Pakenham, Ontario. Also survived by her brother-in-law, Toller Cranston of Toronto and San Miguel, Mexico, who admired her zest for life and shared his quest for colour. Friends and loved ones may pay their respects at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road (between Bayshore and Baseline Road), Nepean on Wednesday, September 17th from 5 to 8 p.m. A celebration of her life will be held in the chapel on Thursday, September 18th at 2 p.m. As an expression of profound gratitude, the family would appreciate donations be directed to the Victorian Order or Nurses, without whose help we could not have coped, and with Lynda, fought side by side against this most evil disease. A special thank you to Marsha, who should be sainted. Alternatively donations may be sent to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre. Thank you to Dr. Jonkers and the entire staff of O.R.C.C. who gave Lynda both the weapons and the support to fight the battle she did.
