Linda Marion Brown
1952-2020
A warm heart and a tender soul was called home on October 13,
2020.
Born in Antigonish on September 4, 1952, Linda Marion Brown
was the daughter of the late Theresa and George Brown of
Monastery.
Linda lived a quiet life at home in Monastery and enjoyed the
simple pleasures that brought her peace and offered her
contentment. A long walk on a country road, a cup of tea
with a neighbor or relative and catch up chats on the telephone were
ideal ways for her to fill her days. Later her life became
more complete when she met Frankie and they made a home together in
Grosvenor, happiest knowing she was cared for and had someone at her
side, her heart was full. When it was necessary, Linda and
Frankie moved to Antigonish and in 2019 Linda became a resident of the
R.K. MacDonald Nursing Home, where Frankie continued to be at her side
as much as possible.
Linda was a babysitter to many and loved children, especially
babies. If you needed to talk, her phone would always be
answered, and you’d be sure to be listened to. She
loved to play Bingo, go for a car ride and to spend time visiting
friends and family. Her eyes lit with delight when someone
made her laugh. She worked at Levy’s Leathers in
Lower South River for some time and made many good friends
there. Though she spent her life contending with an unseen
illness, she did her best everyday. Giving what she could
when she could, she was courageous.
She is survived by Frankie Bowie, her son Craig, Antigonish;
Frank’s sons Eugene (Patricia), Mattie Settlement; Jimmy
(Gail), Clydesdale; daughter-in-law, Carol-Anne, Grosvenor; four
grandchildren and four great grandchildren; her sisters Barbara Mason,
Goshen, and Carol Cameron, Antigonish; her brothers, George (Sandi)
Rodney, Ontario; Fred (Isabel), Grosvenor; Francis, Monastery, and
Berkley (Jackie), Grosvenor as well as many nieces and
nephews.
She was pre-deceased by her sister, Darlene in infancy,
brothers-in-law, Brian Mason and Gordon Cameron, Frank’s
son, Gerard Bowie; and special nephew and Godchild Kory
Brown.
Cremation has taken place and a private family graveside
service will be held in St. Peter’s Cemetery, Tracadie, with
Fr. John Barry presiding.
Donations in Linda’s memory can be made to the
charity of your choice.
