In loving memory ~
On her own terms, Lynda Marie Archibald left this earth September 26, 2024. She was a long time Cariboo Chilcotin resident living in many small towns including Puntzi, Little Tatla Lake, Anahim Lake, Big Creek, Likely, and finally, Soda Creek. She was a master teacher whether it be in the public school system, master gardening, orchard growing or vinegar making. Not only was she meticulous in all she did, but she was also one who never spoke a bad word. She created masterpieces with the sewing machine, wood working, and drawing.
She is survived by her 106 year old mother, Verna Fairhurst, daughter Norma Kunau (Rory Phelan), grand daughters Delaney and Rayn Kunau, sister Maureen Fairhurst (Dr. Neil Gilkes), nephew Rhys (Kara & Rook) Gilkes, niece Meryl (Dylan & Winston) Rekert, niece Georgia Fairhurst and her mother, Jill.
A celebration of life will be planned in the future when her ashes will be returned to the land she loved and friends can gather.
