We Remember
KEUHL, Lynn
March 24, 1963 — July 25, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the loss of Lynn Keuhl, who passed away unexpectedly on July 25, 2025, at the age of 62.
Lynn leaves behind those she loved most, including her daughter Holly (Chris); granddaughters Rylee and Jordyn; mother Dianne; sisters Deb and Tracy (Lorne); aunts Sandra (Al) and Bev; and nieces Lindsay (Brad) and Meaghan (Dave), along with their children Ashtyn and Cooper, and Adrianna and Lila; as well as nephew Marlon (Kelsey) and their daughter Riviana.
She now goes to join her father Wayne, who passed before her in March 2025.
Lynn was born in Nanaimo, BC, one of three siblings, and had a natural energy and determination from a young age. She was a talented athlete, especially in sprinting, where she held multiple school district records, and also played volleyball. She was involved in Drama Club and brought the same spirit to the stage that she did to sports. In later years, she developed a love for golf.
She spent over 40 years working as an optician, and was respected for her skill and the way she connected with people. Known for her quick wit, big laugh, and the way she could instantly put others at ease, Lynn had a warm presence and a great sense of humour that brought joy to those around her. She was a simple woman who worked hard and never asked for much. She didn’t need anything fancy; what mattered most to her was time with her family and friends.
Lynn shared a close and lasting bond with her daughter, Holly. As a single mother, she and Holly did nearly everything together, from workdays at the office to quiet family traditions like decorating the Christmas tree each year. When Holly and her husband Chris moved to a farm, Lynn was a regular visitor, happy to lend a hand in the garden or help out wherever she could. She adored her granddaughters and found real happiness in spending time with them, especially watching them ride horses or gently brushing the animals herself. Lynn was loving, thoughtful, and quietly strong.
She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend, and she will be deeply missed.
Family and friend will each honour Lynn in their own ways. No formal service will be held.

My sincerest condolences go out to the Keuhl family ,Holly, Dianne, Deb, Tracy, and their families .
This past week I’ve been reflecting on the life of one of my dearest friends Lynn,. My heart is filled both with deep sorrow and immense gratitude . Lynn was more than just a friend ; she was a bright light to me . Her quick wit, laughter and spirit brightened every moment we shared .We were adventurous children together , bound by curiosity and were a tad mischievous . Together we explored orchards in the Belgo area,, hiked mountains , many a time to “Lonely Pine”….where we thought we’d reached the highest mountain . We listened to music together,, we splashed and paddled in Okanagan lake in the moonlight ! We indulged often as kids on our favourite Maple Walnut Sundays ,and Fries and Gravy Saturday ‘s after strolling the mall . Lynn gave me the most wonderful childhood memories by including me in her life and family …and for that I’m grateful . As we entered our high school years we remained friends . Lynn was a talented athlete from a young age . She had a quick wit and an infectious laugh .and her beauty was not only on the exterior , but also from within . Lynn was a friend to all and her kindness shone through in her caring nature towards others .She was a hard worker in her career as an optometrist.. Lynn’s proudest accomplishment was being Holly’s mom , and watching her grow into the brilliant young women she is today . I will forever hold dear all of the precious memories of my sweet friend . Rest in peace my “Dendy” until we meet again ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am so shocked and saddened to hear the news that we lost our sweet Lynn. I have so many wonderful memories of her and we shared the exact same birthday. She holds a special place in my heart. I sincerely send so much love to her family whose heart must be shattered. I feel your pain. She was a wonderful and special soul. We lost an angel. 💔 sharing a photo I took of her for the school annual.
I’m sending my deepest condolences today to Holly Dianne ,Deb Tracy and families and Lynn’s friends and loved ones . Today as I reflect on the life of my dear friend Lynn, my heart is filled both with the sorrow, but also immense gratitude. Lynn was more than just a friend in my childhood. She was a bright light to me and her laughter and spirit brightened every moment that we shared. And boy we shared a lot of them. . She was my first friend when I moved to Kelowna where we attended South Rutland elementary school. Lynn and her family welcomed me into their lives with open arms and our friendship blossomed. We were adventurous children bound together by curiosity and a zest for life. We explored Orchards in the Belgo area, hiked mountains, and paddled Okanogan Lake. We shared some special times at the lake, swimming in the moonlight, roasting, hot dogs, and giggling ourselves to sleep. We indulged a lot on our favourite maple walnut sundaes at Dairy Queen. That was our favourite treat.! Lin was an amazing athlete, I always admired her amazing athletic ability and skills. As we entered high school at Spring Valley school Lin’s athletic abilities continued and she excelled . Lin was a friend to all. Her kindness shone through in all she did and to those who were fortunate to know her .. Lin was one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. I’ll never forget her laugh. Lin’s beauty was not only on the exterior, but also inside as well. She had an ability to connect with people on such a genuine level. Lynn’s proudest accomplishment was having her daughter Holly ! She was such a dedicated mom to Holly and so very proud of her as she grew and developed into the woman she is today. She often shared with me how wonderful it was to be a grandmother.. I can’t even begin to say how much I’m going to miss her being here. I will miss her every day and I’ll never forget her beautiful Chrystal blue eyes,, her laugh, and her extraordinary friend friendship. She was one in 1 million and she will forever be missed.❤️ rest in peace my “Dendy” until we meet again🙏🏻🙏🏻
