Linda graduated high school in Bishops Falls at the young age of 15; top of her class and valedictorian. She became a valued employee wherever she went. After graduating, she worked at the Royal Stores in Grand Falls. Linda was always so proud to tell that at 17 years old, she bought a “brand new Volkswagen-right off the assembly line”. Following that she was employed by Abitibi Price in the office. She traveled internationally with work friends in the 60s-70s. She met Bill in 1970 and later married and settled in Norris Arm. Norris Arm became her home and she immersed herself in the little community she so dearly loved. You could always depend on her to support everything and everyone, regardless of the cause. Linda had a wide range of talents and was best known for her quilting works, baking, and ability to bring fun and laughter wherever she went. Her tea buns are lore. She loved live music, a good crossword, a boisterous game of 120’s, a strong black coffee, and the company of friends and family.

Her circle was extensive and the friendships ran deep as evidenced by the constant stream of visitors during the 8 months she was in hospital. Thank you to each and everyone of you who brightened her hospital days with a visit.

Resting at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Church Tuesday February 3rd 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm funeral service Wednesday February 4th at 2 pm conducted by Majors Roy and Louise Perry from the Salvation Amy Church , Norris Arm.
