It is with
deep sadness that her family announces the death of Linda Estelle
Hughes on April 20, 2020 at the Palliative Care Unit, Dr. Everett
Chalmers Hospital, Fredericton, NB. Born in Fredericton March 22, 1948
she was the daughter of the late Lawrence Hughes and Margaret
(McGinley) Hughes.
Linda is
survived by her son, Ted Sullivan of Scarborough, ON; her sister,
Catherine (Bill Seto); brothers, Gregory (Susie MacNeil), Mark
(Marlene Finnie), Barry (Karen Gibson) and Cyril (Amy
Whytewood-Hughes); aunts, Catherine McGinley, Pauline Allain, Marjorie
Hughes and Sue Allen, all of Fredericton and several nieces,
nephews, great nieces and numerous
cousins.
Linda
graduated from FHS in 1965 and then New Brunswick Business College
shortly after. The majority of her career was with Fredericton
Exhibition (NBEX) retiring after 30 years. Friends in the Harness
Racing Industry will remember her passion for horses and The
Fredericton Raceway. That passion extended to all animals, especially
cats; she always had at least
two.
Linda
lived life on her own terms, and it was such a large life,
that it cannot possibly be written here; if you knew Linda, you would
understand this. Just to highlight a few things she enjoyed:
reading, music, sports (Go Vikings and Leafs!), bowling, curling,
Nascar, clogging, wine and visits to Grand
Manan.
She was a
beautiful, kind, loving and generous person. Her sense of humour and
“light up the room” personality will always be remembered.
Her greatest legacy is her son, Ted, who exemplifies everything
wonderful about Linda and more. Her love for her family was her
strength and that love was extended to all her friends. She will be
forever missed and forever
loved.
Thank you to
staff on 4SW and Palliative Care Unit for their kind and empathetic
care of Linda.
Due to the
current situation with Covid 19, there will be a Celebration of Life
at a later date.
For those who
wish, donations can be made to Carma, Fredericton Chapter or
The Fredericton Homeless Shelter or a Charity of the donor’s choice.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Linda Estelle Hughes 19482020..
