Lynn Flewelling Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 12, 2022.
Passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with Pancreatic Cancer on Sunday, November 6, 2022 at the age of 65 years, surrounded by loved ones and those who held her in their hearts. Loving and cherished mother of Rachel Ruston (Sam Tamman). Dear sister of Terry Pettigrew (Tom Pettigrew) and Tim Flewelling, as well as loving Aunt to Derek Pettigrew (Susan) and Neil Pettigrew (Therese). She is predeceased by her parents, Sam and Kay Flewelling, as well as her brothers Neil, Ozzy, and Charles Flewelling. Lynn was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick and raised in the Village of Gagetown. She always believed in the power of education and therefore spent many years of her life attending different post-secondary institutions, including New Brunswick Community College, the University of New Brunswick, Western University for Dentistry, and the Atlantic School of Therapeutic Massage where she retrained as a massage therapist. She instilled this belief in her daughter, Rachel, who earned her own degrees and pursued post-secondary education as a career. Many of Lynn's favourite memories were with patients and clients as both an owner and dentist at Applewood Dental Centre (Waterloo, ON), and as a massage therapist at Massage Addict (Fredericton, NB and Waterloo, ON) and The Waters Spa (Waterloo, ON). Both of her career paths were in the helping profession because she was guided by her empathy and compassion for others. She loved building relationships with her peers and clients, maintaining many of those friendships throughout her life. To read more about her personal life, you can follow the link listed below to Tri-City Cremation Services. Cremation will take place. A Celebration of Life will be held by the family at a later date. Donations may be made to Pancreatic Cancer Canada, the Lisaard House or your local Food Bank, in honour of Lynn's constant generosity to those who needed help the most.

I am shocked, surprised and saddened by the loss of dear Lynn.
Having been sincerely blessed to meet Lynn when she contacted me to learn Reiki, soon after moving to KW. Yes, Lynn devoured knowledge like a true curious, sharing and caring person.
We quickly became much more then mentor/student and I considered our friendship lifelong.
Who knew that it would end so soon. A few months ago, I received an 'unsubscribe' for our newsletter and felt something was not right, yet could say nothing out of respect for her wishes.
She had also stopped attending our networking breakfasts sometime before and was missed by all. She had been a regular; with a huge smile, sparkly eyes and joy to be around even when she wasn't feeling the best.
Rachel - I know her love for you was clear, pure and deep. This will be a most challenging time. Know that myself and others are with you and should you wish to speak, I/we are ready; here to share with you our joyful times with your mom.
I also have some photos; one below of her special day. I have more and some with her from our shared breakfasts.
In Peace, Love and Light
