It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Lyndell, my wife, loving and staunch supporter for over 55 years. Lyndy was the mother of four children, and grandmother of six. Over our time together, I have seen Lyndy grow from an attractive young lady working as secretary at the Victorian Artists Society, to a mother looking after four children and assisting in the operation of the registered farm at Clyde. She was a generous host of many functions, developing the ability to present beautiful roast dinners that were always looked forward to. She had great balance, was not only a snow skier, but also water, and learned to ride a horse, play tennis, and still managed to support both myself and her children.

She was also involved in volunteering for the local CFA and Berwick Ambulance. She was very involved with First Step, a medical centre which we set up to assist people with substance abuse issues.

Her engaging, sympathetic approach eased many distressed people who had become accustomed to being treated with disdain. Without her support, I doubt the Peter & Lyndy White Foundation would exist.

Lyndy had poise and grace, but no pretention. Many will miss her.
