Obituary For Linda Jean MacRae (nee Tobias)

We are saddened to announce the passing of Linda Jean MacRae, (Lynn) who passed away peacefully on March 16, 2023 after a brief illness.

She was the daughter of the late Doreen (Withers) and the late Francis Tobias. She is also predeceased by her sister, Frances.

Lynn was born in Saint John, New Brunswick. She spent her early years in St. John’s, Newfoundland where she met and married Don MacRae.

She is survived by her sons Scott (Rhonda; grandson Cory), Douglas (Leanne; granddaughters Miranda and Juliette), daughter Jennifer, and former husband Don.

For many years, Lynn was a successful businessperson. Her career returned her to Newfoundland and subsequently she settled in Dartmouth, N.S. She was a former member of the CWL at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Dartmouth and volunteered her time to various other charities.

As per her wishes, there will be no service or visitation. A private family memorial will be held in Newfoundland at a later date.

    We were saddened to hear of Lynn's passing. I will treasure the precious years Lynneand I had knowing one another and I am so grateful for the 10 days we spent together when we visited Dartmouth. When I fell and broke my wrist during that visit Lynn took us to the hospital and came right into the examining room to "make sure things are done properly", dearest Lynn. I miss our long phone conversations and I miss knowing she was only a phone call away and all that she represented to me. My deepest condolences to Don and family and all who loved Lynn.

    Don and Family So sorry to hear of Lynn's passing. Lynn and I experienced a lot of firsts together. One that we laughed about over the years was our road trip from Ottawa to St. John's in 1966. A great experience! Lynn was very kind and caring. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May she Rest In Peace! Brenda and Gerry Stone
