Obituary of Corinne Alp

Alp, Corinne (nee Lynn) 12 June 1923 – 8 December 2013 Corinne passed away peacefully, early Sunday morning December 8, 2013, at the Perley and Rideau Veteran’s Health Centre in Ottawa, at the age of 90. Predeceased by her husband Victor Alp (2012), mother Mary Belle (nee Munro) Lynn, father Hugh Lynn, step mother Catherine (nee Hall) Lynn, sister Lois Lynn, and brother Mickey Lynn. Survived by brother Jim Lynn, nieces Janet (Edouard) Vaillancourt, Mary Ellen Lynn, niece-in-law Margaret (Ven) Bedward, and several other close cousins, in-laws, and great nieces and nephews. Born and raised in Temiscaming, Quebec, Corinne went on to study and graduate from nursing at the Oshawa General Hospital. It was in Oshawa that she met and married her husband Victor Alp. Together they returned to live in Temiscaming where they both worked for the Canadian International Paper company. Corinne began her career as the CIP’s town health nurse subsequently moving on to operating room nurse and hospital administrator at the Temiscaming General Hospital. She and Vic spent many years in Temiscaming enjoying family and friends before moving on to Quesnel, BC for a brief period and then back to Ottawa where they settled in to new employment – Vic working as an electrician for the Canadian Mint and Corinne working in a pediatrician's office until retirement. Corinne and Vic celebrated 66 years of marriage before Vic’s passing in 2012. During her lifetime, in addition to her much loved nursing career and family and friends, Corinne enjoyed gardening, numerous artistic hobbies, engaging conversations, reading (to include her daily newspaper – a must), crosswords, current politics, their boxer dogs, and time spent at camp on Lake Temiscaming. Our dear Corinne was an incredible personality and will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her. The family would like to express our appreciation and thanks to Corinne’s doctors, nurses, and caregivers in both Gatineau 1 South and Ottawa 1 West at the Perley and Rideau Veteran’s Health Centre.
