MCCURDY, Linda Ann

Age 81, Central Onslow, passed away on December 21, 2020 at home. Born in Debert, she was a daughter of Sidney Mccully and Lillian (Geldart). Upon graduating from Acadia University in 1961, Linda married Earl Lindsay Mccurdy of Middle Musquodoboit. Soon after, Linda and Earl were posted to Zweibrücken, West Germany where their first two sons, Dan and Barry, were born. Their third son, Chris, followed soon after when Earl and Linda were posted back to Chicoutimi, Que. As with many military families of the time, the next 20 years were spent moving around Eastern Canada. Linda had her hands full as she raised three boys when Earl was away on lengthy exercises. In many ways, she was the glue that held our family together. Nova Scotia was always home. Her happiest days were spent with Earl, family and dogs at the family cottage on Isaac’s Lake. Mom always kept busy with her knitting, quilting, card play, curling and golfing. Mom was a special person in many lives and she will leave a hole in the hearts of her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, Stacey, extended family, friends and neighbours. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Earl; brothers, Everett, Manning, Leonard and Michael; sister, Mae. She is survived by her sons, Dan (Judy Butt), Bonnyville, Alta.; Barry (Chérie), Cochrane, Alta.; Chris ( Janice), Saint John, N.B.; grandchildren, Ben, Matthew, Renée, Jessica, Cameron and Cara Mccurdy and Sabrina, and Gillian Davidson; sisters, Irene Gratto, Priscilla (Eric) Jennings, Donna (Brian) Johnston; sister-in-law, Ruth; as well as nephews, nieces, cousins and extended family. Arrangements have been entrusted to Colchester Community Funeral Home, 512 Willow St., Truro. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private family service will take place on Tuesday, December 29th in Colchester Community Funeral Home with Rev. Glenn Maclean officiating.
