My sincere condolences to the family.
Linda and I became friends shortly after we began working together (15 years ago), bonding over hot yoga classes of all things. It became a wonderful escape for both of us after long days at the office.
Linda’s kindness is something that will never be forgotten — she was always very considerate and thoughtful toward everyone around her.
I will truly miss you, my friend.

Condolences from Dave and I. It is so hard to believe. I remember spending time with Linda especially at Grandma Books, trying on the old dresses grandma had upstairs at the farm. Another young person gone too soon.

Linda, I am so sad we had to say goodbye. We’ve been friends for well over 3 decades, nearly 4 – who would have thought! This is more for your family who may not know this about the Alberta Linda. You were remarkable. I remember taking over your job of payables at Wilky when you went into sales. You were teaching me to do it your way, I had my own way. Every morning for at least a month I’d come to work and you had re-arranged my payables drawer the way you liked it, which made absolutely no sense to me. Finally, I had to remind you that you had a new job and to keep your mits off my work. I knew what I was doing. LOL … that made us great friends. We’d pick up our kids from daycare and go back to work thinking we had to work twice as hard to make a name for ourselves in what was then a “mans world”. You went on in sales and I went on in purchasing. We could have written a book and what a book it would have been. LOL – the stories we could have told. You and Tabetha came to my house a few times a week for dinner. We did lake “days”to Miquelon Lake & Allan Beach, ‘cus I dislike camping, bugs & mosquitos. Eventually, I left Wilky and so did you. We lost touch for a while but caught right up where we were when I came back from BC. You went through your shit while I went through mine, but the wonderful thing about true friendship is that you can pick right up from where you left off and we did. I think that we were closer than sisters, both with our own secrets, so to speak. We had a mutual group of awesome freinds pre-covid and after. We took great pleasure in live music and indulged in that on a weekly basis during the last 25+ years. In fact, we met for dinner at the New Castle during a freaking snow storm which is where I met Darcy. I told him to f off nicely a few times but you kept on pushing that night and he and I ended up married. If it hadn’t been for you, that never would have happened, thank you. Our time together was short but amazing. I can’t thank you enough for being..so unlike you…pushy. My goodness, you kept kicking me under the table. I am so grateful that you were there. Thank you. You made our wedding wonderful and his memorial service even better. Plus the time in his dash was even better as is yours https://youtu.be/hPGNjtjv-kA?si=JrtkyZ-6roFZDo6O
From what I know personally, you were an amazing friend. You were thoughtful, caring, considerate and so much more. You were an amazing co-worker and friend – they have a memorial set up at your desk. I think that’s a little different, but hey, we all grieve in our own way. You were an amazing Mom, I’m certain that both Tabetha and Flynn miss you dearly. You were an incredible Grandma – it’s really, really not fair that you didnt’ get the time to spend more time in that role. You were so good at it and it’s so awesome to teach them a couple of life’s lessons, fill them with sugar and then go home. Absolutely wonderful!! Much better than being a Mom, even if I do say so myself. My Grandbabies and I had so much fun bowling with you and yours.
I am also so grateful that you brought “The Ladies” into my life. Jubilations, The Mayfield Dinner Theater, and in particular at the beginning, Wednesdays at Festival place with Miss Marrion. OMG, what a woman! She had such a zest for life. I loved watching and being with her. She was amazing. Thank you for the introduction to such an incredible lady who sadly is no longer with us. Byron, you are so lucky to have had such an amazing Grandma! Linda watched out for her so well once you and Tabatha moved to BC.
You and I had a lot of fun, planning parties over the years, making the food booking the music, usually DJ’s. Sometimes just the two of us and with others on the really fancy occasions.
We enjoyed our Lady Friends at Jubilations & Mayfield. They all miss you dearly. Margie sent Memorial Cards which I gave them a couple of weeks ago. It made everyone so sad and so happy to have been a part of your life. Your were so considerate, kind & thoughtful with all of them / us. It truly is so hard to accept that you’re gone. Our Saturday friends, filled with live music and dancing also miss you. Everyone is so shocked at your passing.
It was so nice to meet your family while they were all here. They do and I also, always will miss you. It doesn’t get easier it just gets different.
You still have Corona in my fridge calling your name for our Friday night “what’s new in politics”. You were a great Truckers Convoy supporter with me. We had a lot of fun at those events. We both believed you have to stand for something or you stand for nothing. Freedom – the best thing ever. You were my first signature and I know had you not been ill, you would have stood in line in the cold for a couple of hours to sign with us.
I am saddened and honoured to have gone through you journey with you. I am so glad for Tabetha – she looked after you so well. You should be very proud. Your family was wonderful.
Such a sad time for us all.
I will miss you my friend, but you will always be in my heart.
Lots of love,
Shawnna

It is difficult to say anything in face of the loss of such a beautiful friend. I simply share the sadness felt by all who had the privilege to know Linda. Her beautiful smile, kindness, laughter, thoughtfulness, and caring manner will remain etched in our hearts.
Linda was a creative, hard working, warm, wonderful, endearing and delightful friend. As part of her “birthday luncheon group”, I was lucky to receive a few cards from Linda which I have kept and treasured. Inside she wrote sincerely beautiful notes; always uplifting, heartening and thoughtful. It is so very hard to say goodbye to her, but Linda will always be remembered and cherished by those who knew her.
My heartfelt sympathy to Linda’s family, children and beloved grandchildren. Truly you were all so dearly loved and important in her life.
