Linda Theresa Catoul

The family of Linda Theresa Catoul RN of Halifax, Nova Scotia wish to announce her passing on May 29th, 2026 at the QEII Infirmary. Born in New Waterford, Cape Breton on April 4th, 1947, Linda was the daughter of the late Joseph and Noemi Catoul. Linda is survived by her sisters, Dolores, Deanna (Jim) and Maureen (Brian) and brothers John (Linda) and Michael (Donna). She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces/nephews whom she thought the world of, including close niece/goddaughter Wanda. She was predeceased by brother Joseph, sister Brenda (Brennie as she loved to call her) and infant sister Brenda.

Linda graduated high school early and began her RN training at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Glace Bay NS. She then moved to the big city of Halifax with her lifelong friend Bev, where many memories were made. She spent over 40 years working at the Victoria General Hospital and then the Nova Scotia Rehabilitation Centre for the remainder of her career. Even though she stayed in Halifax, she never forgot her Cape Breton roots and was always proud to call it home.

Linda’s passion was shopping, she loved it all and when she found something she loved, she bought it in every color. She loved to buy gifts for family and friends and was always so generous. Linda was an avid reader and loved to read anything she could, in later years, her Kindle was her favorite possession. She loved movies, tv shows and her favorite series was Game of Thrones. She knew everything there was to know about the rich and famous and what was going on in the world and was always up for a good discussion.

A few health issues in later years didn’t entirely slow her down, she still loved to go out for lunch with her friends on a regular basis to Cora to enjoy a good meal and laugh with old friends, Jeannine and Sharon.

The family would like to send a special thanks to her close friend Debby and her daughter Ashley for their friendship and help over the years, she greatly appreciated it.

Donations may be made to the IWK in Halifax or to a charity of your choice. Honoring Linda’s wishes, there will be no visitation and cremation has taken place with final care being entrusted to Cruikshank's Funeral Home, Halifax.
