In memory of

Linda Cromb

September 12, 1936 -  April 12, 2020


CROMB, Marion Linda Grace (nee Scott) – September 12, 1936 – April 12, 2020

Linda passed peacefully on the afternoon of Sunday, April 12, 2020, after a battle with cancer. Born in Bathurst, New Brunswick, to Winston and Alice Scott, she was the third of eight siblings: Beryl, Greg, Linda, Danny, Helen, Stewart, Edith and Glendon. Linda was married to her husband and best friend Jim for 25 years, before his passing in 1987.

Linda will be lovingly remembered by her sons Jay (Kim), Graham (Debbie) and David (Karen) as well as her surviving sister Edith and brothers Stewart and Glendon. “Nana” will be missed and always remembered with love by her grandchildren Owen, Isaac, Grace, Molly, Miles and Elise. Linda’s family and friends will never forget her love of laughter and of spirited debate.

She enjoyed life: figure skating as a girl in Baie Comeau, skiing while living in Montreal and Calgary, playing tennis with her husband Jim, working at an art gallery in Ottawa, traveling with a sister, sister-in-law, niece or daughter-in-law, going to the opera with a friend, countless real estate lunches with the ladies in Whitby, taking grandchildren wherever they wanted to go whenever they wanted to go, exchanging perspectives with a son over the phone…

Mom, Nana, Sister, friend – we love you and we will miss you.

Donations in Linda’s memory will be gratefully accepted by The Canadian Cancer society.

A gathering for family and friends will be held at a future date.

Nana was an amazing person. She shaped the people around her to be just as amazing as she was. She was always there for family and friends.

As a kid, my nana raised me to be the best person I could possibly be. Whether it was running Owen and I around to hockey practice or enjoying her daily walks with our dog, she was always happy and was always there to help, especially when needed most. Nana was always up for anything, whether it be driving a half an hour to take my brother and I fishing for the day, having to take the fish off the hook for us because we were to scared to touch the fish, or simply taking us to Dairy Queen on a hot day. Nana was always by my side, bringing a smile to my face every time she pulled in the driveway. She will always be in our hearts and in our thoughts.
