Mrs. Linda 'Lin' Ann Shepherd
April 20, 1956 - July 19, 2007
SHEPHERD, Linda (nee McCullough). It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Lin, at her home on Thursday, July 19, 2007, at the age of 51.
Lin leaves to mourn her beloved husband Spence and her new puppy Bailey, her loving parents Jim and Lil McCullough, her sister Doris (Bud) Giesbrecht, sister-in-law Kathy McCullough, her nieces and nephews: Shawn (Sara) Giesbrecht, Skylar and Alex; Chris (Lyndsi) Giesbrecht, Sven-Erik and Lilly; Lisa (Dan Nast) McCullough, Tanisha, Kelsey and Kira; Jeff McCullough, Brittany McCullough. Lin is also survived by her loving in-laws Jack and Muriel Shepherd, brother-in-law Harold (Stephanie) Shepherd, sister-in-law Sheryn (Allan) Midgley, nieces and nephews: Chelsea Shepherd; Curtis (Daileen) Shepherd, Cain and Claire; Kori Midgley, Jared, Jordan and Shae; Mathew Midgley. Greeting her in heaven was her beloved Teko, her brother Doug and her niece Melissa.
Lin graduated from Mount Royal Collegiate and began working at Woolco. Shortly after she got on at Canada Post and was employed there at the time of her passing. Thru hard work and determination she slowly worked her way up to an excellent position at Canada Post.
Lin will be remembered for her sunny disposition, her love of family, her excellent work ethic and most importantly her love of life. Lin believed that life is meant to be enjoyed and that fun things should never be put off to do later. She and Spence traveled extensively and often. She liked nothing better than loading up their golf clubs and heading off to play golf either with good friends or just the two of them. Also precious to her was time spent with her new puppy Bailey; she was definitely the apple of her eye. She will be deeply missed by everyone who loved her.
The Memorial Service will be held at PARK FUNERAL CHAPEL, 311 3rd Ave N, Saskatoon, SK on Wednesday, July 25, 2007 at 10:30 a.m. Interment will take place at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.
Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 438 – 2nd Avenue North, Saskatoon, SK, S7K 2C3 or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan, 279 3rd Ave N, Saskatoon, SK S7K 2H8.
