Lynn Elizabeth Clements (Bezanson/MacLeod)
Age 53, Middle Sackville, passed away Sunday, January 13, 2019 peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. Born in Halifax, July 7, 1965, she was the daughter of St. Clair and the late Doreen (Yaxley) Bezanson.
Lynn was employed as a nurse for 34 years; most of her career spent working in the Cardiac Unit 4 West at Dartmouth General Hospital and part-time at In Patient Holding Diagnostic Imaging at QEII Health Science Centre. Lynn had a passion for camping with her family both in Keji and at Highbury in the Annapolis Valley where she made many lifelong camping friends. She always looked forward to spending the last days of summer and Labour Day weekend at the cottage on Aylesford Lake. Lynn loved country music, playing crib, roses and she loved to travel, her favourite trips being a recent trip to Nashville and to the UK to visit the hometown of her loving grandmother Yaxley. Christmas was always a special time for Lynn and she enjoyed having a traditional family Christmas with her kids. Lynn also loved her ever- faithful dog Rosie Bear who never left her side. Lynn was always selfless; caring for others and putting their needs ahead of hers out of love for her family and friends.
