Obituary of Linda Lee Sidor

It is with heavy hearts and immense sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend from a lengthy illness on December 14, 2013 at the age of 55 at the Stettler Hospital & Care Center, with her family at her side. Linda went to be with Lord where she is now pain free. Linda was born on January 23, 1958 at Ponoka, Alberta. She will always be loved, greatly missed and fondly remembered by daughter Lisa Gallais (Travis Gallais) of Red Deer, AB, father Bill Northcott of Warburg, AB, sister Shelley (Pete) Cretney of Lacombe, AB, nephew Kenny (Veronica) Munn of Ponoka, AB, nephew Cody and Tanner Cassidy of Calgary, AB, niece Cathy Markovich (Johnson) and other extended family and friends. She was predeceased by her mother Marion Northcott in 2011 of Lacombe, AB, uncles Herman & Chris Ekeli in 2007, sister Marianne Sharkey in 2010 and nephew Darcy Munn in 1992. Linda’s gentle, warm and giving heart touched so many people throughout her life. She always had a soft spot for that less fortunate or individuals who struggled with everyday matters. She always took time to say hi, give a gift and most of all lend a helping hand or a listening ear, hoping it would bring about a brighter day. Linda had a life-long love affair for her Harley Davidson bike. She spoke about how riding her bike gave her freedom from everyday troubles and gave her the strength and confidence to be the strong woman that she was. Her love for animals was evident, but most of all she loved birds. Watching them soar free in the sky without worry or interruption was Linda’s plan for herself after she was in the care of the Lord’s hands. Linda may you watch over us all and protect us from the trials and tribulations of life. May you fly across the blue sky as free as a bird and feel the freedom underneath your wings. Linda had a passion for music and singing. Her voice was a gift from God and you could find Linda at a Karaoke sharing her love for music to the public. Cooking was a talent and many of meals did her blessed hands prepare. Crocheting too was an art of her hands. Many of these blankets made, will be wrapping around loved ones on a cold winter’s night. Linda and family would like to thank Dr. Fairfax, homecare and acute care nurses for their hard work and endless hours caring for her through her journey. In honoring Linda’s request there will be no funeral or memorial service. Donations in memory of Linda may be made to the Red Deer Women’s Shelter.
