Linda will be remembered as a selfless, thoughtful, stubborn, and unbelievably benevolent woman whose love for her family was evident throughout her life. She lived her life with positivity, radiating warmth and kindness to everyone around her. Her geniality, strength, and steady presence will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.

Above all, Linda truly loved her family, especially her grandchildren, as they held a special place in her heart. Her favorite memories included Thanksgiving and Christmases with Cason, Cole, Carli, and CJ, and traveling the world with them for hockey tournaments. Her grandchildren were her everything, and she would light up with the opportunity to talk about them or with spending time with them.
