GEORGE, Linda 'Oma' Jorgine
(nee Spratt)
1945 - 2014
On the morning of October 3, 2014, two months and a day after her 69th birthday, Linda entered peacefully into rest at the Central West Hospice after a courageous five-year battle with cancer. The family would like to sincerely thank the extraordinary team of doctors, nurses and caregivers from various organisations who provided her with outstanding treatment and also acknowledge the hundreds of friends who rallied around her to ensure she did not make the journey alone. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, exactly one month before the end of the Second World War, Linda was the beloved daughter of the late Captain William 'Bill' Nicholson (R.C.A.F, TCA and AC) and Le Moyne Adeline Spratt (nee Landvik) of Castor and Coronation, Alberta. Linda will be remembered with smiles and love by her sons Graeme and Andrew George, her sister Laurel Lawford, niece Kelsey Lawford, nephew Jesse Lawford and daughter-in-law Helen- Rachel Anggraini and other relations both here in Canada and in the United States. 'Oma' will always be adored by her grandchildren Julius, Ben, Hadrian and Genevieve as well as her granddogs Bonzi and Luchew. Linda will also be greatly missed by her legions of friends both near and far. An educator and volunteer who travelled the world sharing her knowledge and skills, Linda always took on new adventures, professional or personal, with passion and enthusiasm. She travelled to more than thirty countries exploring and experiencing the planet's vast diversity of people, cultures, animals (BIRDS!) and environments first hand. Friends are invited to celebrate her incredible life on Saturday, October 25 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ukrainian Banquet Hall at 1000 Byron Avenue.
