ALSTON, Linda Marie

 
It is with deep sadness that we announce that our dear wife, mom, and grammy, Linda Marie Alston, passed away the morning of August 3, 2011 at Strathmore Hospital.  Linda leaves behind her best friend and husband Bill; her three daughters Terry Lee (Todd), Belinda Ann (Trevor), and Sandra Dee (Jose Luis); and her six precious grandchildren Grace, Aidan, Elle, Max, Kate, and Spencer.  Linda was loved by a large family of eight brothers and three sisters, Bill’s family of three sisters and nine brothers, as well as nieces and nephews who she loved dearly.  Linda loved life.  She was passionate about making our house a home, working in her yard, sewing, and dancing.  She loved time spent helping at the Lyalta Community Club and serving at Sacred Heart Parish by teaching Catechism, and later as a Eucharistic Minister.  Linda especially loved spending time visiting with friends and preparing a special meal for all to enjoy.  Our family would like to thank her friend and family physician Dr. Muller, Dr. Patterson of the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, home care nurses Gina and Tiffany, and the nurses of the Strathmore Hospital.  The care, compassion and love that they provided to Linda was greatly appreciated.  A Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, August 8, 2011 at Hope Community Covenant Church (245 Brent Blvd., Strathmore) at 11:00 a.m.  Celebrant Father John Nemanic.  Interment Sacred Heart Cemetery, Strathmore.  To send condolences please visit www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca.
