Obituary of Linda Diane Griffin

Linda Diane Griffin (nee Udall)

1947-2021

Linda was taken from us tragically on January 26, 2021 at the age of 73. She is predeceased by her parents Glyn and Freda Udall.  She will be missed by her loving husband Tom, daughters Tammy (Jeff) Duprau and Shelley (Steve) Fowler, siblings Cliff (Carol) Udall, Debby Marks (late Tut Guy), grandchildren Luke and Scott Morrison, Miranda Crawford and Hunter Fowler, step-children Kitty (Kirk) Darch, Candace (Dan) Jaenen, and Tom (Aronne) Griffin, step grandchildren Katelyn, Breanna, Andrew, Will, Jen, Jessica and Elizabeth, great-grandchildren Raelynn and Kinsley, nephews Steve (Ann) Udall and Brad (Shelley) Udall and many extended family including Kenneth (Wendy) Patton and Shirley Leslie.

Linda put her family before anything or anyone else.  Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren couldn’t be loved more. She doted on her husband Tom unconditionally. She enjoyed life to the fullest, whether it was babysitting her grandkids, hosting crazy Griffin summer parties, shopping with the girls (sometimes casino..shh), lunch with her retired friends, dinners with family, quiet time reading or enjoying a thunderstorm. She never missed supporting the kids at sporting events, graduations etc. She treasured it all. You could always count on her to “LIKE” your FB post within minutes. Always a kind comment for all. She was the most “hip Nana” and always the “cool” mom. 

Although taken too soon, she had a life well lived and she was loved by all who came into her life. She had many great friends, too many to list, that she cherished and talked about often.  She was affectionately known as “Nana Red Car” and we know she now has the shiniest new red car of her dreams.  Keep smiling !! Xoxoxo

Many thanks to the staff at KHSC who helped us through this most difficult time.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date.  Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
