Linda Darlene (Huestis) Wilson

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Darlene (Huestis) Wilson of Halifax, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend who passed away with her family beside her on April 4, 2021 at the age of 68 years at the QEII, Halifax Infirmary. Born in Whites Lake, she was the daughter of the late Walter and Marg Huestis.



Linda was a vibrant and adventurous woman who loved with all her heart. Her life goal was to help as many people as possible, always putting everyone’s needs before her own. She worked at Citadel High School as an Educational Program Assistant (EPA) she not only was dedicated to her work, but her true passion was with her students.



Linda would travel as often as possible with family and friends. Especially her dream Viking River Cruise in Europe.



Her hobbies included spending time with her daughters and grandchildren at all sports events. She would be at every game to watch her grandsons as well as tea parties and theater with her granddaughter. She always looked forward to her visits drinking tea and talking for hours with her family.



She was so devoted to her husband Butch. They met as teenagers and they were true soulmates. In-separable until the day of his passing 21 years prior to the day Linda passed on April 4th. Everyone should know the true love Butch and Linda shared in their lifetime.


Do not sit and weep for me, I’m just where I want to be,
 My love has asked me for a dance, How can I refuse another chance, to have those loving arms so strong, around me gently holding on, My feet so light, don’t miss a step,
 He’s waited so long, Oh, please don’t let, your tears for me cause you to grieve, 
For I’m with my love, and please believe, I’ll never leave you, I will live on,
 So, dry your tears they’re playing our song.
