It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Lottie Lindley of the Upper Nicola Indian Band. Lottie was survived by her husband of 66 years Isaac (Ike) Lindley, and her children: Margaret (Don); Ivan ( Joan); Norman (Phyllis); Tina (Randy); Allard; Bev (Emery); Lorna (Jerry); David (Wanda); Ben, and Raymond. Lottie had 27 grandchildren, and 21 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild. Lottie Myrtle Lindley was born in Merritt BC on November 8, 1930, the only daughter of Christine Strongy and Tommy O`Rourke. She attended Kamloops Indian Residential School when she was seven where she attended for eight years. Among the many lifelong friends she made, she met Isaac Lindley, who was from Spaxomin. In 2005 she joined the NVIT Elders Society and could be found at the Merritt Campus offering support and guidance to staff and students. She was very proud of the work she and the other elders did. Lottie’s greatest source of pride was her family. As an only child, she beamed with love and gratitude for her huge extended family. She will be greatly missed. The Lindley family appreciate all the support from everyone, and apologize if we forgot anyone.
