Linda Goldine Wegner, formerly of Powell River, passed away in Maidstone, Saskatchewan, on June 5, 2025, at the age of 82. She leaves behind her husband of 56 years, Edmund, their two boys, Leonard and John, as well as three grandchildren, Elizabeth, Sarah and Lucy, and one great-grandchild, Zoey.
Linda was born to Dorothy Smith and Stan McIntosh in New Westminster, BC, on February 27, 1943. She is survived by her four siblings: Wayne, Doug, Len, and Valerie.
Linda may be best known for her life of service. She embraced the life of a pastor’s wife, giving endlessly of herself in the communities of Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, Castlegar, BC, Sointula, BC, and Stoughton, Saskatchewan. She went on to become an ordained minister herself. Her love of music and piano lent well to her contributions.
In later years, while living in Powell River, Linda was the proud owner of a small business, Words of Worth, incorporating her talents as a writer and an inspirational speaker. She wrote countless articles for papers and magazines and had three books published.
Linda loved her family, her church and her neighbourhood. She will always be remembered by
her generous invitations for a cup of tea and some fresh baking. She made friends wherever she went and will be missed by many.
A service for remembering Linda will be held at 10 am on August 30 at Powell River Reformed Church. Tea and some fresh baking will be offered following the service.
