Linda was born May 30, 1953 and grew up in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. It was there where she met and married the love of her life, Stan, in 1971. Together they had 3 daughters and settled in Tisdale, Saskatchewan in 1978 to raise their family. Linda was blessed with 3 beautiful grandchildren and spent countless hours being their biggest cheerleader watching them dance, golf, play hockey or baseball.
Stan and Linda moved to Lacombe, Alberta in 2001 where they built a beautiful home and set up a seasonal campsite at Lakewood Resort in Sylvan Lake. Lakewood was her happy place filled with golf games, relaxation, card games, campfires, and precious time spent with friends and family. She was an avid hockey fan and loved cheering on the Red Deer Rebels.
Linda’s positive attitude in every adversity she faced is truly an inspiration for all. In her words – “Always treat people with kindness and respect. It really pays off. It makes you a happier person”
