FINLAYSON: Andrea Lynn of Guelph, formerly of Seaforth

April 30, 2021 By Haskett Funeral Homes 174 Condolences

FINLAYSON: Andrea Lynn of Guelph, formerly of Seaforth

It is with heavy hearts, we share Andrea Lynn Finlayson passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her loving family on Wednesday, April 28, 2021. Born on March 18, 1988, Andreaโ€™s life was much too short, after a strong and courageous 5 year battle with cancer. Cherished daughter of Jim and Marian (Duffy) Finlayson of Seaforth. Proud sister of Melissa and Jason Beuttenmiller of Guelph, and Sarah and Mitch Masse of Zurich. Adored auntie of Jada, Kyra, and Lexi Beuttenmiller and Leah, Landon, and Dylan Masse. Andrea will be fondly remembered by her many aunts, uncles, cousins, and many special friends. Predeceased by her grandparents Art and Mary Finlayson, and Bob and Ruth Duffy.

Andrea was a lover of all things outdoors; sports, spending time with friends, and nature. She enjoyed going out to a restaurant for a delicious dinner and then coming home to replicate that same meal for her family and friends. She loved fashion, often dressed in a classy outfit no matter the occasion. Andrea graduated McMaster University with a Bachelor of Engineering, and was always using her mind, smarts, and handy woman skills to renovate or build something for her home.

Visitation will be held at Haskett Funeral Home, 87 Goderich Street West, SEAFORTH on Sunday afternoon from 2 -5 PM. Due to Provincial COVID-19 restrictions, each person must RSVP for the visitation. Please click โ€œRegister Nowโ€ below to register. The Funeral Mass celebrating Andreaโ€™s life will be held on Monday, May 3rd at 11 AM.

Cremation to follow, and a private family interment will be held at Harpurhey Cemetery at a later date.

    4 years late to the messages, but Andrea’s warmth and friendly nature left a long lasting memory in my mind. Although I havent seen her for 15 years I still remember that she was really as sweet as people say. Life is cruel and unfair. I hope her family has felt some relief from the grief

    I will always remember Andreaโ€™s remarkable attitude towards life. Her smile and incredible energy would fill the room she was in. I think often of her example of courage during difficult times. What a beautiful and admirable soul who touched many lives !

    My deepest condolences to Andreaโ€™s family and her loved ones.

    Andrea! I am so sad to hear of your passing. From the moment I met you I felt an instant connection. Your spark and passion for your work was unlike anyoneI had ever met.

    I remember you telling me in my office about your diagnosis and your positive attitude never wavered throughout your many years of treatment. You have always been someone I look to as a source of strength.

    Im so happy me and my son Rory got to visit you and that rory got to attempt to destroy you impeccably decorated condominium .

    I will miss you so much. Your are a bright star that was snuffed out too early! I hope your family always knows how many people you touched in your life, that was cut far too short.

    Rest in peace and condolences to your entire network of family and friends.

    You can shed tears that she is gone,
    Or you can smile because she has lived

    You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left

    Your heart can be empty because you canโ€™t see her. Or you can be full of the love that you shared

    You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday. Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

    You can remember her and only that she is gone
    Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

    You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back.
    Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

    Sending all our love and condolences….what a beautiful life she lived with her family and friends.

    Love Crystal, Kyle & Nash xo
