NICHOLLS, Linda Carolyn (Cliff, nee Scharf) Monday, 17 Mar 2008
Richmond, BC
November 1, 1941 to March 17, 2008
Linda was born in Toronto, Ontario to Charles and Audrey Scharf. She died suddenly at home in Richmond, BC after a courageous 14 year battle against COPD.
Linda was active in the Richmond Community for many years. In the early 1970's Linda became co-chair of the Citizen-Consumers for Lansdowne, the group responsible for gathering more than 10, 000 signatures on petitions urging Richmond Council to rezone Lansdowne Race Track to Lansdowne Shopping Centre. The rezoning became a fact after the 1973 Municipal Elections saw Linda and others, including Kichii Kumagai and the late Gil Blair, replace most of the Council of the day.
Linda was only the third woman Alderman elected to Richmond Council, serving from 1974 to 1980. After retiring from Council, she served many years as a Director of the Steveston Community Society and the Steveston Salmon Festival.
Linda is survived by her husband Terry Nicholls, son Randy (Penny and Deborah), daughter Julie (Rolf, Lara and Anya), sister Sandra Mann, nieces Laura (Garry) and Kathy (Eric).
On Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 from 7:00-9:00pm, an informal service and reception will be held in the Seiner's Room at the Steveston Community Centre for those wishing to gather and remember Linda.
