In Memoriam
At twenty hours, on November the 16th, 2010
Linda Gilroy-Scott ended her fabulous adventure on Earth
Gilroy-Scott, Linda Harriett (nee Brannan)
January 19, 1944 – November 16, 2010
We say goodbye to a beautiful lady, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend after a courageous 18 month battle against melanoma cancer. A Lady to the End. Linda, always with a smile, carried herself with grace and dignity. Predeceased by her father, Carl and mother, Doris. Linda is survived by her husband of 44 years, Alan; her daughter, Tara; her son, Bryce and grandson, Tevne. A beautiful woman, a loving soul, a true friend and an ardent and expert shopper, her Visa’s may now rest in peace, as Linda continues her journey.
No service or flowers by request; a celebration of Linda’s life will take place at a later date. Memorial tributes may be made directly to Victoria Hospice, 3rd floor, Richmond Pavilion, 1952 Bay Street, Victoria, BC V8R 1J8. The family wish to recognize the outstanding care and attention provided to Linda and ourselves by the Victoria Hospice Palliative Care Team during this very trying time. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallbros.com.

Dear Allan
I find it hard to believe the news of Linda’s passing. Although I knew her for only a short time, I remember Linda as being full of vitality, extremely generous, caring, loving and one beautiful individual.
My thoughts are with you at this time.

Dear Alan, Bryce and Tara
This is the last thing we were expecting to hear.
Carol and I are extremely sad to hear of the passing away of your loved one ( wife and mom) and our longtime friend.
Linda was always full of sunshine and affection.
No doubt you all miss her a lot.
Our deep condolences to you
Dear Alan and family,
I am so sad to hear of Linda’s passing. She was a marvelous human being and a great woman. I often thought of her and regret the times I passed your home and thought of ringing your doorbell and didn’t.
I am pleased to have known her briefly and to have experienced the
strength of her presence.
so she leaves an imprint…
