VASSE, Lynne (née Horsfall)

Passed away peacefully on Easter Sunday, 2026, surrounded by her loving family and the earth angels at Hospice, cherished wife of the late Peter Vasse.

Together for 60 years, their love so bright,

He went before her into the light.

Just weeks apart, she joined him there,

Forever at peace, a devoted pair.

Beloved mother of Chantelle and Giselle; respected mother-in-law and dear friend to Jerry and Cliff; adored and very proud Nan-nan of Bradley, Harry, and Piers.

The heart of our family and the sunshine that warmed us all, she lit up every room with her infectious laughter and boundless positivity.

Her joie de vivre, selfless kindness and unwavering warmth touched everyone she knew and taught. She was not just a presence, but a lasting light.
