July 17, 1954 - September 18, 2022
Linda grew up in Shaunavon, trained to be a Registered Nurse in Saskatoon and moved to Calgary. She began her nursing career in the Intensive Care Nursery at the Holy Cross Hospital and finished her career at the Rocky View Hospital ICN. She was a much loved nurse who made and kept many nursing friends till her passing.
In Calgary she was a very active volunteer member of the "Calgary Samaritan Club" for 20 years. Their objective was to raise money for the underprivileged and especially the single and abused mothers.
Linda and Brad were married for more than 41 years but were together more than 54 years. They began their life together in Calgary in several small apartments and purchased their first house in 1980. During that time Linda volunteered with the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics and enjoyed every minute of it.
Linda and Brad moved into their second home in 1991 and lived there for 24 years. They eventually purchased a property in Boswell and on Kootenay Lake. They began spending the summers in Boswell and going back to Calgary in the fall. Brad would work in the winter and they would return to Boswell in April for another summer in what they considered paradise.
Linda retired from nursing in 2003. They sold their home in Calgary when Brad retired and made Boswell their permanent home. Linda volunteered and was involved with many clubs, groups and societies in Boswell as being a Director and Secretary for the Boswell Memorial Hall.
