JULY 8, 1950 – FEBRUARY 7, 2023

On February 7th, 2023, Linda passed away peacefully in her favourite chair surrounded by family just as she wanted at the age of 72 years.

Of course she had it her way until the end.

Our mom spent the last 22 years missing the absolute love of her life, Michael Bass, and we are thrilled that they are reunited again.

Loving and "lucky" mother of Tracy Black, Corinne Hunter, Mary Bass, and actually liked and loved mother-in-law of Jim Black, Christopher Hunter and Michael Hoeg.

Cherished sister to Gerald Lonsway.

Predeceased by her parents Esmel and Rena Lonsway. Will be especially missed by her life long friend Ev Pell and all her family and friends. Special thank you to her incredible PSW Valerie and to Jackie for all the added support that helped us keep her home.
