Lynne Currie spent much of her extensive 45 year nursing career working throughout the Sea to Sky corridor. Her career took her from acute care nursing in Squamish General Hospital to home and community care serving Whistler, Pemberton, Mt Currie and beyond. Lynne was an extraordinary caregiver, educator, co-worker, leader and friend. Her family always remained her driving force and the mark she left on this world will never be forgotten.
