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 Alan and Family,
We offer our sincere condolences on the loss of your vivacious Linda. She was indeed a lovely and generous spirit, always offering friendship and a laugh. We will remember her always.
Alan, our thoughts are with you and your family….. we have such fond memories of Linda.
thank you for letting us share Linda, we had good times, for sure.
A number of us visited your lovely home in Victoria, she was a
superb hostess. She had a real flair for fashion that only she could carry out and we would wish that we could do it too but no, she was unique.
Dear Alan, Bryce, Tara & Family
We are so sorry to hear about Linda’s passing, our condolences go out to each of you.
Linda was such a beautiful soul, person, and friend, and we have so many fond memories of our time together.
Who can forget our fashion show days with Beta Sigma Phi, or our many wonderful parties, with the occasional glass of wine.
Our thoughts are with you.

Remembering our Regina interactions and the good time we had in Edmonton at the Commonwealth Games – a long time ago. Linda was such a livewire and a good hostess; we’re sorry to hear of her death, and even sorrier that we didn’t realize how close we’ve been geographically these last years (in Nanaimo since 2005 to be close to the Kazeils). Our sincerest sympathy, Alan, Bryce and Tara.
Dear Alan, Bryce, Tara, & Treve:
Our very deepest condolence to you, our hearts and prayers are with you always.
We will always remember Linda for the fun times we shared as families, together and as couples.The picture of lInda will always be in my heart..
Dear Alan, please accept our sincere condolences as we always enjoyed golfing at Uplands with Linda and her smile.
Alan – so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you.
