Linda Currey Obituary
Linda CURREY Linda Marie Currey was born on June 24, 1955 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, the daughter of Andre and June Clermont, and was raised in Ontario and Quebec as a child. Linda moved to Vancouver, BC in 1972, graduating from Pacific Vocational Institute (Vancouver, BC) as a Dental Receptionist, and Douglas College (Vancouver, BC) as a Medical Office Assistant with Office Administrator studies. She held positions as Child Care Staff, Pitt Meadows Day Care (Maple Ridge, BC), Office Manager, Laborie Surgical (Richmond, BC), Medical Stenographer, St. Pauls Hospital (Vancouver, BC), Emergency Room Admitting, St. Pauls Hospital (Vancouver. BC), Volunteer Teachers Assistant, St. Nicholas Montessori (Federal Way, WA), Volunteer Teachers Assistant, Wildwood Elementary School (Federal Way, WA), and Attendance Secretary, Wildwood Elementary School (Federal Way, WA). Linda was also Vice-President of the Wildwood PTA, a Troop Leader in Girl Scouts, and yet reserved time and energy to stay fully engaged in being a loving, nurturing mother and devoted wife. Linda was always known for her vitality and being a forthright person who did not hesitate to tell the truth as she saw it, or give her opinion and let the chips fall where they may but she also lit up every room she walked into, and the light lasted long after she left. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001 and 2005, Linda devoted much of her time counseling and educating other women, especially those who were newly diagnosed with or fighting inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), but she refused to allow her personal fight with cancer to define or diminish who she was. Passionate about living and quality of life, Linda enjoyed camping, wind surfing, salmon fishing, and other outdoor sports with her family and friends. She will always be remembered as the personification of faith, courage, strength, hope, and love. Linda served at First Baptist Church of Bothell, Grace Community Church of Auburn, New Heart Worship Center of Auburn, and Overcomer Covenant Church of Auburn nurturing children in multiple roles like Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS), teaching Sunday School, and providing child care to infants and preschoolers. Her favorite Bible passage was Psalm 23, two favorite authors were Max Lucado and Joyce Meyer, and a favorite saying was 'First believe and then let your life be a testimony to what you believe!' Linda was 55 years old, and resided in Federal Way, WA for the last fifteen years with her husband and two children. She departed this life peacefully at University of Washington Medical Center on May 1st, 2011 at 9:05PM, survived by her husband, Washington Lee, and her children, Joshua Lee and Brittany Louise June Currey, of Federal Way, WA. Also still living are six siblings: her brothers Paul and Mike, and her sisters Judy, Janet, Danielle, and Diane, residing in Ontario and Quebec, except Diane, who resides in Vancouver, BC. A Memorial Service to celebrate Linda's life is scheduled for 10:00AM on May 21st, 2011 at the Overcomer Covenant Church, 33415 Military Rd South, Auburn, WA 98001. Anyone who knew Linda is welcome to attend in remembrance of her.To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

My sweetheart ... It's been six long years since you went home. I've got a few more things to do here, but I know you are patient. Save me a slow dance, and give my love to Dad, Uncle Richard and his family (Aunt Dorothy, Debbie, Brenda, Linda), and your brother Phil. Missing you as much today as May 1st, 2011 when I had to go home without you. Hugs and kisses baby, and all my love forever and ever.

Hi Sis,
I can't believe it's been 2 years. I miss you so much. Tonight on my way home from work, while waiting at an intersection, I heard the sound of bagpipes and it caught my attention. As I listened closely, they were playing Amazing Grace and I knew you were there. On this very day, smack dab in the middle of the city - bagpipes to the tune of Amazing Grace! You are always in our thoughts and we miss you so much. Love you always and forever ~ your sister Diane

Here we are, sweetheart, exactly one year. Thinking back to the day we first met, the miracle of us becoming a couple, our babies, and the life full of blessings we bestowed on each other in the season we had together. Thank you for being my better half, and for all the memories. Collin Raye sings a song called "If you get there before I do" ... and that's become my theme song. I have a few chores to finish, and I don't know how long I'll be, but until I again hold you in my arms I'll treasure you in my heart. You still owe me a dance my love. Forever yours, Lee.

Today is October 7th, 2011 and it’s not just any day. Not as tough as May 1st, or May 11th, or May 21st, but something more like June 24th, when we celebrated Linda’s birthday without her. Today I rejoice in the love we had as husband and wife, and the covenant we made with each other, on this our wedding anniversary. I believe that God, in His wisdom, established marriage as a covenant relation...ship between man and woman, to be a sacred and lifelong promise to cherish one another. Implicit then is His design that intends for us to be devoted to the wants, needs, hopes, and fears of our mate, bringing out the best in them, and manifesting unconditional love for one another. This is a tangible opportunity for us to reflect His promise to never leave us or forsake us, and to become instruments of His will in the life of our soul mate. And in a Christ-centered family, I believe that the Holy Spirit uses the marriage, and both husband and wife, as an opportunity to demonstrate and bless each other with love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Thank you, my dearest Linda, for the walk we had together in this life, and for helping to make me a better person, husband, father, and believer.
Please take a listen to the song … http://youtu.be/w6pCKGdroho ... by Collin Ray.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. You are always on my mind but now with the focus on Breast Cancer with so many - I am reminded of all that you did as an advocate and how many lives you touched and educated as you too struggled in the fight. I love you Linda, I miss you - your heroic presence is still felt with those in the fight.

Mom and I celebrated your birthday at your favourite bench in Stanley Park. We ate chicken shwarmas under the setting sun. To our surprise, a lone bagpiper played beautiful music along the rocky shore. Happy Birthday to you.

Dear Lee, Joshua and Brittany,
Art and I send our most heartfelt wishes of sympathy to each of you on the loss of your wife and mother.
In all the years we lived next door, I was constantly amazed at Linda's energy and ability to accomplish all the things she did. I knew her before and after she was ill and I never heard her complain about her lot. She was fun-loving, generous and she was an exceptional mother -- never a time that she wasn't involved in your activities. You gave her joy and she was so proud of you.
Rest in Peace, Linda.

Linda meant a great deal to many different people: her family & friends. She will be missed by all but her positive spirit will live forever in our collective memories.
Linda made our world a better place by raising money for cancer research, even while she was trying to beat the disease.
She will always be remembered her courage, strength, compassion for others and love for her family & friends.
Our sincerest condolences to Lee & family.

It's an honor to give tribute to the life of a woman whose life deserves celebrating! Linda, I know you are celebrating the joyous freedom in your glorified body. I imagine you are very busy greeting each new one that arrives. You had such a gift of inclusion. On my first visit to New Heart Worship, both you and Sue greeted me and told me to join in Wednesday night dinner you had prepared. I did not know anyone there, but you guys made me feel like I was one of the gang.You flitted all over the place doing things and working like a busy bee, but you still had time to love on people and share your warmth. Your smile is a memory in itself. Such a gorgeous smile and tender heart! You are truly God's treasure and He is laughing and joyous to have you with Him! Looking forward to the day when you greet your friends and family as we come to join you!Thank you for being you!

Linda's influence will live on in her children and in her friends. She was well loved by many. We will miss her smiles, her friendship, her leadership, her helpfulness, and so much more.
May 10, 2011
Linda, I believe the following, "Prayer of Saint Francis" depicts how you lived your life, which is why you were so loved:-
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled,
as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Smile down on us Linda, we will miss you.

Dear Sweet Linda -
We are thankful that we had a time to visit with you recently and see your courage and inner strength as you strove to regain your health. It was heartening to see the care, concern, and devotion Lee provided to you day and night. You have every right to be proud of the eagle feather, four beads and the medals you were awarded for your bravery. The devotion between you and your children was wonderful to behold. Your faith and love will continue. We will never forget you. You are one brave lady. We love you dearly and will miss you greatly.
With love, Brad and Louise Currey "Mom and Dad Currey"

Linda had such a strong will to live and she fought to stay with her family for many years. We will always remember the fun times with had with her and I hope everyone will remember those times not the ones when she was ill. She was a the most dedicated mother, wife, friend and animal lover. We will miss you.

Dear Linda. Although we are saddened by your departure from our lives, we rejoice in the knowledge that you lived your life so fully and that it will go on in the lives of your family and friends. We will eventually forget the years of pain and suffering you endured and recall only our happy times together, the activities and hopes we shared, and the promises of the future. Sleep well, my dear; you have earned this repose. Love from "Mom Marian".

My condolences to the Currey family. I met Linda when she was visiting Elayne and remember vividly her zest for life. She reached out to my daughter-in-law, Linda who also had IBC. My Linda wasn't in a place to socialize at the time, but Linda Currey took the time to visit, share and offer help in any way. She truly was special. Rest in Peace, Linda.
