June 5, 1946 - November 21, 2024
Linnea passed away peacefully on Nov. 21, 2024 at the age of 78. Linnea was born in White Rock, B.C. She was the youngest child born to Lorentz and Nellie (Sayle). Her father passed away when she was a young child. She had a strong and devoted mother who raised her along with five siblings. Linnea attended Semiahmoo Secondary School where she met Stanley. Following high school, she worked as a teller at the Bank of Montreal. She went on to marry her high school sweet heart, Stan. They had two children, Kim in 1969 and Trevor in 1972.
Linnea devoted much of her lifetime to caring for her children, their home, and their lovely yard. She was known for her baking, especially for making the best cookies. She was so very proud of all of her grandchildren and her grand-doggies who brought her much joy over the years. Linnea and family sadly experienced the loss of Stan in March 2021. She was also pre-deceased by her brother (David), sister (Linda), and brother (Larry).
Linnea will be lovingly remembered by her children, Kim (Bernie), Trevor (Janine), and her four grandchildren (Joella, Nolan, Zoë, and Camryn). She will also be remembered by her large extended family, including her sister Doreen (Fred), sister Sandy, brother-in-laws Bob, Lyle, Roy (Thom), sister-in-law Lori, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. Her family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the nursing staff and physicians at Langley Memorial Hospital for their compassionate care.
