Linda Dawne Donovan

She had an enormous heart, a beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor. Although she was a private and quiet person, she was generous, loyal, and brave. She was clever and full to the brim with knowledge gained through all of her life experiences.

Affectionately called Lou by her sister Diane, she had travelled the world with her two sisters Diane and Gail by way of family trips and many different boarding schools. She was so knowledgeable of all of the places she had been and loved. Her most loved memory of travel was at Sandoway in Myanmar. Her music play list was never ending and she loved to listen to all kinds of genres but her ultimate favorite was the Beatles. She had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Often spending her spare time researching topics of interest, reading books and watching CNN. Linda’s favorite saying was “F--- Trump!”. She loved to dance too and we had memorable evenings with Karaoke and dancing!

Her proudest and most loved moments were the birth of her son Sean and watching him grow to the wonderful Man, Husband, Father and Friend he is today.

Linda leaves behind her Sister, Diane Borrett; Son, Sean Donovan and his wife Sherry Donovan; Step Daughter, Shelley Hayes and her husband John; Grand Children: Brooklyn Donovan, Brittney McKenzie, Brandon Sociedade, Lucas Hayes and Paisley Hayes.

Linda was predeceased by her Mother Marilyn Brandreth, her father Ken Course and her sister Deborah Gail Craig.

Linda was a beautiful person inside and out. Her smile was so stunning it would light up the whole room. She cared so deeply for the people around her. She was so kind and passionate. She made an impact on many lives.

She is now sailing a journey to shores we cannot see. We know that she is free of pain and is floating peacefully in the crystal-clear turquoise waters of her dreams. She will be forever missed. Until we meet again xoxo
