Obituary of Lynne Elizabeth McTaggart

McTAGGART, Lynne Elizabeth (nee Spriggs)

1959 - 2012

It is with the most profound sadness and great loss that we announce the passing of our beautiful Lynne, peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer, on November 13, 2012. Cherished wife, true love, and best friend of Bill for 30 years. Adored mother of Alicia (Fraser) Drummond, Lorna (Andrew) Neely, and Heather (Craig) Simmonds. Loving daughter of John and Phyllis Spriggs. Left to mourn are sister Darlene Pidzamecky, brother Wayne (Janet) Spriggs, brother-in-law Ray Pidzamecky, as well as nieces, nephews and many incredible friends.

Lynne loved being a wife and mother and always said, “Being a mom is the best job in the whole wide world.” Lynne loved her sons-in-law as if they were her own. Lynne loved life and lived to bring honour and glory to Jesus. Her work with Reach Forth Sports brought great satisfaction to Lynne and her expressed desire is that the City of Hamilton will be reached with the love of Jesus.

A very special thanks to Dr. Michael Marcaccio, Dr. Martha Graham, CCAC staff and nurse, Vicencia Gyekye, for their exemplary care.

Visitation will take place on Friday, November 16 from 2-5 pm and from 7-9 pm at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church in Burlington (1401 Guelph Line). A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 17 at 1 pm at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church in Burlington. Cremation to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations, in Lynne’s name, may be made to Reach Forth Sports (via CanadaHelps) or to Lynne’s Legacy Run (www.lynneslegacyrun.ca) would be most appreciated.
