Scrappy on the basketball court and ball field, competitive, a gifted athlete, so much fun to spend time with, a great and loyal friend…that was Linda. KLCVI yearbooks reveal that she was a member of both the junior and senior volleyball and basketball teams throughout her high school career; in fact, Linda was the basketball team’s high scorer every single year- no teammate was even close! We had such fun on bus trips to Kap and Cochrane and Timmins, at school dances and the Orange Hall, Twirp dances and house parties. From all accounts, Linda demonstrated the same qualities of caring and commitment and determination and courage and strength she demonstrated in high school, to her battle these past few years. Her spirit will live on in her children and grandkids.

Don and family My sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. Let your memories be your strength during this time. Jeannine

Tina, Kyle, and Don …. My thoughts are with you at this sad time.
