Placid Pools founding director Lynne Spelta passes away

Sadly, co-founding director of Placid Pools, Lynne Spelta passed away on December 1, surrounded by family and friends at the Cairns Base Hospital. She had struggled with cancer for the past five years.

Below are some heartfelt words prepared by long-time family friend Des Evans, written on the day of her passing.

“I find myself in tears and with a sad heart as I inform all of the passing of a beautiful, strong and loving lady, Lynne Spelta. Lynne passed away at 12.05 today in the Cairns Hospital losing a five year battle with cancer, a brave lady who not once complained and would always greet you with a smile and if asked how she was going, would always reply that everything was fine.

“Lynne was surrounded by loving Family as she slipped away peacefully this afternoon. Lynne had turned sixty this year.

“Words will not placate the sadness the Spelta family is feeling at this moment so I will say that I am so blessed to have known Lynne and shared many happy memories with Lynne and the Spelta family, Joe, Tanya, Amanda and Mark.

“We the Evans family share your pain and send our love.”
