The British presenter, who was suffering bowel cancer, died 'peacefully in her husband's arms' yesterday.
Lynda made an emotional farewell appearance on Loose Women last Wednesday, bravely explaining her decision to stop her gruelling chemotherapy sessions.
And speaking on ITV's This Morning earlier this month, she explained: 'I just sat down when I was in pain - there's no getting away from it with chemo - the ulcers in your throat, the thrush, plus the fact I'd had major, life-saving surgery for a perforated colon.
'When you're in terrible pain, you make decisions.'
'People spend their last few months worrying about death, but not pinpointing [what it is about death] they are worried about - rather than focusing on everything they've got.'
Following her decision to end treatment, Lynda was expected to live until January 2015, and said her final wish was to have one last, painless Christmas with her sons, Michael, 31, 26-year-old Robbie and husband Michael, 59.
