Linda Sanders

1955-2017

Linda  Sanders
Linda Sanders passed away Sunday, February 19, 2017, in the South Shore Regional Hospital, Bridgewater, with daughter, Julia by her side.

Born April 20, 1955, she was a lifelong resident of New Ross.

Linda was predeceased by her parents, Paul and Shirley (Boylan) Veinot and infant brother, Laird.

She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Dwight and daughter, Julia. She is also survived by siblings, Donna Elliott, Allan (Joanne), Susan (Dorin Veinott), Neil (Karen), Larry (Julie) and numerous nieces and nephews as well as grand nieces and nephews.

Linda worked as office manager, alongside her husband, Dwight, at H.C. Sanders & Son Ltd., where a great many will attest that she always had time for them, but more importantly, possessed an acerbic wit sure to entertain and amuse. Her sharp sense of humour carried in all aspects of her life, and her closest friends could enjoy the best of her loving sarcasm. She retained her joyfulness and positive character to the very end. Her family and friends were touched by her thoughtfulness and will always acknowledge that Linda was the rock upon whom you could depend to persevere and see the job finished. She shared a special bond with nephew, Terry Elliott, who was always there for his aunt. Also cherished were her adventures with forever friend, Mary Ellen Reeves. Fortunately she shared a family passion for caring for and protecting animals, and almost any visit to the house would entail the introduction of a new pet, more likely than not, found by Dwight and lugged home to be nurtured. While a devoted basketball player in her younger years, in her later years the sport of shopping took prominence.

Words cannot express the appreciation the family feels for the exceptional care and compassion provided by Dr. Barbara O’Neil and Dr. Heather Robertson.

Bt Linda’s request, there will not be a funeral service.

Arrangements entrusted to Mahone Funeral Home, Mahone Bay.

Linda would ask that memorial donations be made to SHAID Tree Animal Shelter, Bridgewater or New Ross Fire Department.

A Celebration of Life will be coordinated when Linda’s favourite flower, the Lilac, is in bloom.
