Linda STECKLER Obituary
It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Linda Joyce Steckler, on September 4, 2014. She will be remembered as a loving daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, and dear friend. Linda was predeceased by her mother Mary and survived by her father Harold; brothers, Brian (Alice), Bill (Gloria); nephews, Mark (Bobbi), Matthew (Stephanie); nieces, Maeghan and Breann. Linda was born in Yorkton SK on December 25, 1958. Early in her life, the family moved to Saskatoon where she grew up and attended Thornton School, Prince Philip School, Walter Murray Collegiate and Robertson Business College. Throughout her working years she made many lifelong friends and was employed by the University of Saskatchewan at the time of her passing. Linda enjoyed life to the fullest. Camping trips and numerous trips abroad with friends and family were among her favorite pastimes. Special thanks to Dr. Florence Wardell for her compassion and friendship over the past 30 years. Thank you to Palliative Home Care nurse Helen and to the many kind, compassionate nurses at St. Paul's Palliative Care who cared for Linda this past month. Thanks to Pastor Roy Hewko for his support during this difficult time. The Funeral Service will be held in Preston Avenue Community Church (2216 Preston Ave, Saskatoon), Monday, September 8, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Paul's Hospital, Palliative Care Unit, 1702 - 20th Street West, Saskatoon, Sask.

Im sickened as i just called her number and it was disconnected so i knew right away she was gone. I used to live in the same condo and she was a bright light and such a strong but kind spirit. She fought so terribly hard. My only comfort is that she is not suffering anymore. My sincere condolences to her family she leaves behind. It was so unfair. What a gift she was to this world.

Our hearts go out to the family. We will miss running into linda around the condo. She always had a big smile and a beautiful spirit. May she be at peace safe in the arms of Jesus.

It had been a week that my mom was wondering how Linda was doing. We live in the same condo complex, but we were unsure what what the number to her condo was... A few days later I found an open letter laying next to my vehicle, and when I picked it up it was a letter of Linda's. It felt as though she was sending us a message of her passing. We are so sad to hear about her passing. She was a special and kind lady, and she will be missed.
