Linder Ann Seon

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Linder Ann Seon, who departed this life with grace and peace. She was born in Upper Demerara, Guyana, on January 17, 1948, daughter of the late Rhoda Anita Seon and Harry Lorrimer.

Linder began her education at Lady of Fatima Catholic School, followed by Sacred Heart Primary and Bartica Secondary School in Guyana. These were the places where her discipline, sense of responsibility, and early independence first took shape—qualities she carried with her throughout her life.

Her remarkable work ethic became one of her defining traits. She began her career at The Geology & Mines Commission, later joining Telecoms Guyana (the national telephone company), where precision, patience, and professionalism were essential. After immigrating to Canada, Linder continued to build a meaningful life through her work. She served at Women’s College Hospital and Rockcliffe Long-Term Careas a dietary aide, caring for patients with quiet dedication and dignity. She also worked as a clerical assistant at a law firm, adding yet another chapter to her diverse professional journey.

Even when she wasn’t scheduled to work, Linder still found ways to give back. She volunteered freely and willingly, without expectation of recognition, because she believed in staying active, useful, and helpful. She often spent her days off offering her time—proof that kindness was not just something she received, but something she gave generously.

She is predeceased by her brothers William Seon, Neville Seon, David Lorrimer, Frankie Lorrimer, and Alan Lorrimer, as well as by her beloved son Dawson Lorrimer.

Linder was the heart and soul of her family—a devoted mother, loving daughter, cherished sister, grandmother, aunt, and loyal friend. Known for her tender heart, gracious charm, and quiet strength, she leaves behind a legacy deeply rooted in love, resilience, and kindness.

She is survived by her loving daughters Minette Seon and Wanda Cummings, and her cherished granddaughter Chantel Holder. She will also be deeply missed by her sisters Dorothy Dalgetty and Jane Fiedtkou; her nieces and nephews including Compton Dalgetty, Beverly Dalgetty, Jacquelyn McKinnon, Jacquelyn Dawn Fiedtkou- Roberts, and Keith Fiedtkou; her great-nieces and great-nephews, including Ryan, Raynor, and Rushawn McKinnon; Dustin and Chad Dalgetty; Ruth Grant; and Trenton Richards; as well as her dear friends Audrey and Rayman Khan and family, Brent Mayers and family, Phillipa Drakes and family, Monica Oyami and family, Shirley and Winston George and family, Denise Lezama and family, Jeanette Desouza (Lady) and family, and Lisa Robinson, all who adored her.

As a mother, sister, daughter, and friend, Linder was loving, loyal, and true. She offered wisdom without judgment and listened with a heart that welcomed all. Her openness, fairness, and boundless compassion defined her relationships. She embraced others without bias, extending kindness freely—a grace that left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Her absence creates an aching void in our hearts, but her spirit lives on through the cherished memories she gifted us—memories filled with warmth, humor, and unwavering devotion. A woman of unyielding kindness, her generous and infectious spirit touched countless lives. Above all else, she loved her family fiercely. She built her life around shared dreams, mutual respect, and unwavering support, a true testament to her strength of character.

Linder was an avid sports fan who could recite statistics across baseball, hockey, and basketball—she even enjoyed golf. When her beloved Toronto Blue Jays or Toronto Raptors were playing, conversation could wait. She loved fashion and carried herself with unmistakable style; her radiant presence and impeccable taste made her unforgettable. Her magnetic personality, deep dimpled smile, and youthful spirit lit up every room she entered.

To her family, she was small in stature but enormous in spirit—“small but mighty,” as those closest to her would say. A sweet woman with a giant heart, she possessed a playful sense of humor and a courage that inspired everyone around her. She embraced her loved ones fully and without judgment, accepting people exactly as they were.

Known affectionately as Linda by family and Lynn by friends, she embodied a rare combination of humility, strength, and curiosity.

In her final season of life, we were blessed to spend meaningful time with her—sharing stories, laughter, and reflections on how she wished to be remembered. She asked that her life be celebrated with joy, uplifting memories, and shared laughter, honoring the fullness of who she was.

Our mother was a pillar of strength, a model of resilience, and a quiet hero to all who witnessed her journey. Her humor, gentleness, and unwavering kindness will live on in every life she touched. Her loyal friendships and countless acts of kindness stand as enduring reminders of her generous spirit. Her legacy of service, compassion, and love will forever guide us.

As we mourn her passing, we take comfort in knowing that her spirit endures in the memories we hold dear. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

The family expresses heartfelt gratitude for your prayers, support, and kind gestures during this difficult time.
