ANDERSON, Linda Anne
(nee Hosegood)
March 2, 1935 - September 16, 2015
Today we lost a mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister and friend after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Linda was born in Didsbury, Alberta to Harvey and Dorothy Hosegood (Sissons). She grew up on a farm in the Elkton / Rugby District, attended Didsbury High School, then Mount Royal College. She married James R. Anderson in 1956. She was a long-time member of the Bow Valley Chapter No. 5 Order of the Eastern Star and a member of Daughters of The Nile. Her most favorite place was Heritage Park where she volunteered for many years. She is survived by her son Kevin Anderson; her daughter and son-in-law Karen and David Cuthbertson; her two grandsons Robb and William; her sister Lillian Sinclair; her sister-in-laws Eileen Anderson, Fern Anderson and Elma Anderson (Bob). Linda was predeceased by her husband Jim in 1990; her parents Harvey and Dorothy; her sister Mary-Lou; her brother-in-laws John and Richard Anderson. A Celebration of life will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY (Park Memorial, 5008 Elbow Drive S.W. Calgary, AB) on Monday, September 21, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. interment at Didsbury Cemetery at a later date. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. Thank you to the volunteer cancer drivers, Dr. Ruther and medical team at Tom Baker Cancer Centre. Special thanks to Dr's. Sutton, Chappel, Lundgren, VanEssen, and their staff, Lizette and the Palliative Care Team and Southwood Hospice for their care and compassion. In living memory of Linda Anderson, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park.

Linda was my roommate at Mount Royal College and we quickly lost touch. It is sad to find that this is the time when I find out where she has been. My condolences.
