On June 10, 2020, at the age of 82 years, Marilynne Frances Denington of Edmonton, Alberta passed away after a long and valiant battle with Alzheimer’s with her daughter and grandson at her side. She will be sadly missed and forever remembered by her only child, Laurie Ann McMahon of Sherwood Park, Alberta; grandsons, Kyle Darrell Vincent (Amy) McMahon of Sherwood Park, Alberta, and Jordan Rhys (Chelsey) McMahon of Grande Prairie, Alberta; granddaughter, Kristen Leigh (Darren) Derksen of Sherwood Park, Alberta; three great grandsons, Regis Rhys McMahon, Marek Parker Derksen, and Finn Everest Derksen; great granddaughter, Lexi Scarlett Derksen, born on the day of Lynne’s passing; niece, Sandra Leith (Doug) Denington of Stony Plain, Alberta; and nephew Gregory Hilton (Diana) Denington of Edmonton, Alberta.
Predeceased by her parents, Clement William Walter Denington on August 19, 1977; and Phyllis Marjory Denington on March 1, 2000; brother, Kenneth Walter Denington on February 25, 2017; and nieces, Leslie Joan Hughes on September 22, 2017, and Kerrie Lynn Belas on October 18, 2017.
Lynne will be remembered as a kind-hearted and gracious lady, beloved by the many whose lives she touched. She was caring and sentimental and took appreciation for the small things in life. Lynne had special bonds with her daughter, Laurie, and older brother, Ken, both of whom were an integral part of her life. She shared a close lifelong friendship with Anna Wilson, whom she met at business college. She put in many years of service working for AGT and is remembered fondly by her former co-workers. Lynne always had a strong sense of community and built many relationships with long-time neighbours in the Sherbrooke district of Edmonton, which she called home for over sixty years. A lover of animals, she delighted in walking her dogs, looking after birds, and volunteering for the SPCA. Lynne also enjoyed tending to her flower gardens and cheering on her favourite hockey team, the Chicago Blackhawks.
We are appreciative of the love, care and support provided by CapitalCare Dickinsfield in the last year of Lynne’s life and previously Shepherd’s Care Vanguard.
A Celebration of Lynne’s life will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2020, 10:00 a.m. at Connelly-McKinley Funeral Home (Downtown Chapel) 10011-114 St NW Edmonton, AB, Reverend Heather Liddell to officiate.
