Canadian writer
Lynette Loeppky is a Canadian writer, who published the memoir "Cease" in 2015. The book, a memoir of her experience when her partner Cecile Kaysoe was diagnosed with terminal cancer at a time when Loeppky was dissatisfied with and considering leaving the relationship, was a shortlisted nominee for the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Memoir/Biography at the 27th Lambda Literary Awards, the Writers' Guild of Alberta's Wilfrid Eggleston Award for Nonfiction, and the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction.
Loeppky was born into a Mennonite family in Steinbach, Manitoba and grew up in Carman, Manitoba.

Following Kaysoe's death, Loeppky moved back to Calgary.
