Middleton-Linda (Mather)

1950-2017

In the early hours of Friday September 22, sadly, another angel got her wings.  Linda was taken away from us far too early and she will be missed dearly by so many. Linda was the best friend you could ever have.  Always the most generous, kindest, loving person you could ever imagine.  Her sweet smile was always there but that stubborn streak resonated when she wanted it to. Her long awaited dream to go to Alaska was fulfilled one year ago.  She often talked about how special the trip was and those of us who went with her know what it meant to her. Linda made all our lives brighter and will be missed especially by Cyn, Jayne, Judy,  Lyne, Maggie, Marlene, Mary, Nancy, Peg and scores of others who loved her – you know who you are. Thanks to Dr Colquhoun and 8th floor staff at University Hospital who took so good care of her.  Nurses Carla, Kayla and Brittney will be especially remembered.  Also thank you Lynn and Wendy for your kindness and support to all of us. Many thanks to staff at Waverly Mansion.  Although her stay there was short, the care and attention will be long remembered. Linda has donated her body to science which may help others showing again how generous she was, always helping others.  Please join us in a Celebration of Life to be held Sunday October 29th from 1-4 pm at 954 Leathorne Ave.  Unit 2.  Wear bright colours – it’s a celebration!  If desired, as expressions of sympathy, donations to The London Food Bank, 926 Leathorne St, London, ON N5Z 3M5, would be appreciated. Arrangements entrusted with A. Millard George Funeral Home, 519-433-5184. Online condolences, memories and photographs shared at www.amgfh.com
