Linda O'Donnell

Linda (Helen) O’Donnell

August 21, 1943 - September 11, 2019

Another warrior has returned home. The angels came with many prayers to carry Linda home. At 11:45 AM, Wednesday, September 11th, 2019, surrounded by all her family, including Fr Bob Poole, Linda peacefully journeyed on.  Linda loved her Lord and Saviour, and her role on the front desk at the Companions of the Cross, offering hospitality to all. Linda’s gift to the world was her servant’s heart, not unlike Martha’s generous care over our Lord, and now like Mary she gets to sit at our Lord’s feet.  Linda leaves behind her beloved husband John O’Donnell, her grateful children Jacqueline O’Donnell, Kirsty Hammel (Steve Hammel), Paul O’Donnell (Stephanie Stewart); and granddaughters Emily, Erika, and Elena Hammel, and Rafaelle Lozano-O’Donnell.  She also leaves behind many more family and friends, as much in her heart as she is in theirs. A treasured wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to all, Linda will be cherished and dearly missed.  Both visitation and funeral will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 100 Young St.  Visitation and Prayer service on Monday, September 16th from 7 -9 p.m and Funeral Mass on Tuesday, September  17th at 11 a.m.  Donations to the Companions of the Cross, Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) or the CNIB are welcome in Linda’s name, as are all of your prayers.
