Our beloved Lynda (73 years), born in Winnipeg, MB, passed away at the Kelowna General Hospital on December 13, 2020. She leaves behind her loving husband Roland Toker; her sons and daughters-in-law Cory and Amanda Toker, and Todd and Shelley Toker; and her grandchildren Jared, Trendan, Nicholas, Keegan and Chase. Lynda was predeceased by family members Don Thompson, Doreen Thompson, and Regan Toker.
Lynda took great pride in raising and caring for her three sons and maintaining a strong family unit.
When Lynda’s sons became older, she pursued her passion for interior design earning a degree at Red River Community College. Lynda then pursued her career setting up show homes for some of Winnipeg’s largest home builders. Lynda also enjoyed landscaping around home strategically planting trees, flowers and bushes and placing stone around the yard. Lynda also had a great love for nature as she loved watching wilderness shows, travelling and taking in all of the wonderful scenery. Her favorite place was Hawaii.
Lynda loved the Okanagan lifestyle of boating, golfing, and then wintering in Palm Springs. Even though most family lived afar, she cherished the time she got to spend with her grandchildren (and even her sons from time to time…).
As we all know, Lynda was full of life. She was fun, slightly opinionated, and she enjoyed spending time with friends and family. It was always a new adventure with her. Her outgoing, loving, caring personality always shone through – in a quiet way (wink).
We will always remember her.

My heart goes out to Roland and the family. Lynda was a spirited and fun loving person who I adored. She was more than just my cousin, but a true friend and I am going to miss her deeply. Farewell Lynda
Our profound condolences from Philip & Susan Kahanovitch
our deepest condolences to all the family Dennis and May Siwak.
For Roland, Todd and Shelley, Cory and Amanda and all the grandkids. I was fortunate to make the acquaintance of Roland and Lynda and family in 1989, our first trip to Hawaii. We remained friends and had many more wonderful trips together and wintered together often. We have the most wonderful memories to remind us of these great times we shared. She is now at peace and free from struggling with pain. She was welcomed home, by many who have gone before her. She is in good hands. Your friend Bev. Pewelli Bettens and family
Roland – We are so sorry to hear about your beloved Lynda! She was so bright and fun! Our deepest sympathy, and please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you.
Farewell to my best and cherished friend of over 60 years. Your unfailing friendship over the years took us through many joyful events, and some sorrowful tmes. My condolences to Roland, Todd and Shelley, Corey and Amanda, and grandkids.
I will miss her forever and am sad for me but happy for her, Thanks for the memories. RIP My most cherished friend.
I’m so sorry for her passing. Lynda was my cousin through her father, Uncle Don and I hadn’t seen her for many years, I do remember her from Winnipeg. Shirley Thompson was still very close to Lynda and talked with her frequently. Shirley is also my cousin. Her dad and uncle don were brothers. Shirley and I will truly miss her.
Ken Warren, brother in law of Pat Warren. I am so sorry for your loss.
Dear Roland and family – Tony and I were very saddened to hear that Linda had passed. Linda always made us feel very welcomed when we’d visit. We shared some real great times together in California. Wishing you and your family peace and love as you cherish all your memories of Linda. Tony and Lise Bettens
Our condolence on the passing of Lynda Toker to Roland and family.
My deepest condolences to Roland and family. Lynda left us too soon. I loved her spirit, her laugh and the twinkle in her eye. She was one of a kind…the best kind of person. She will be missed. RIP Lynda.
Our hearts have been so heavy since learning of dear Lynda’s passing. We became close friends with Lynda and Roland in 1984 on Ghent Cove in Winnipeg. We shared so many hilarious times together on our little cul-de-sac, memories which we continued to laugh about 30+ years later! Time went by, distance separated us but the bond never waivered. We will always hold you close to our hearts, precious Lynda as we do Roland and your family. Hope you’re watching over Ken and giving him a hard time! 😅 You two had a special bond and you always called him out on his antics! Love love love you, our dear Lynda. ❤️🙏❤️🙏Pam & Ken
My heart goes out to you all for the loss of Lynda, wife, mother, grandmother, and great friend. We spent so many great times together, in Winnipeg, Florida, Arizona, California and of course Hawaii as well as in Kelowna. We enjoyed many hours on the phone and reminiscing of our many adventures over the years. Miss you , my good friend. Rest In Peace and know you will not be forgotten!
Our deepest condolences to you Roland and family in the loss of your dear loved one.
Grateful to have met such a lovely lady. The visits when in Palm Springs was enjoyable and even with her difficulty she endured , found something to make you smile. We will remember her and miss her. Our condolences to Rowland and her family.
To Roland & your family, my deepest condolences for your loss. As you know Lynda and I spent a great deal of time together during our high school years and into our early adult years in Lac du Bonnet and Winnipeg. Even thou I had not seen her in many years, I still do and always will remember the good times we had and I will cherish her memory forever.

I am so sorry for your loss Roland and family. I have fond memories of cousin Lynda when we were kids and spending time in Pinawa Manitoba with Auntie Doreen and Uncle Don. I am unable to make the live stream, as I have to work, but look forward to the video. Love Pat Whitehead
Our deepest condolences to Roland and the family. She and I always had lots of laughs when we cousins got together and I always looked forward to calling her a couple of times a year. I so miss her!
Love to the family,
Heather and Grant
Dear Roland, Cory, Todd & all of the Toker family members, what a lovely service for Lynda! We know that she & Regan, and Don & Doreen are smiling down from heaven & are so happy to see all their loved ones honouring Lynda in this beautiful way. We, too, miss our dear friend Lyn & remember all the great times we shared with her & Roland in Winnipeg & here in Ladner, BC. We were blessed by our friendship. The wonderful photos brought back lots of great memories & we howled with laughter when you shared how you would always get lost & how Lyn would always call you out on it. We knew this first hand because we enjoyed many happy & fun road trips with you guys when this happened. LOL! Good times for sure! Lynda will always live on in those memories. We hope that the hurt & pain of losing her will eventually ease with each passing day until all you’re left with is her sweet, smiling face & the happy memories of times spent with her. Take care guys. With much love to you all. Your friends, Selinda & Richard
I send my condolences to the entire Toker family, on behalf of the McRae family. My Mother Kathleen (Kay) McRae was Lynda’s Dad’s cousin, and I well remember going to Pinawa to visit Don and Doreen, and enjoying Don playing up a storm on the piano. Kay died in 2002 but I just know she’s standing behind me right now, as I write this little note to you, and she would want to be included. Our sincere sympathies to you all…
