Linda May Loewen

Linda May Loewen (nee Klassen), 72, of Altona passed away peacefully on November 9th, at the Altona Health Centre.  She is survived by her son Darren (Jennifer), daughter Sherry (Wesley) and grandchildren Evan and Reese. She was predeceased by her husband Henry, parents Maria and Jacob Klassen and stepbrothers Ed, John and Ben.

Linda was born in Altona July 11, 1951. Her first job was working at the local sewing factory before meeting Henry and getting married in 1973.  Her primary role from then on was to take care of the home with a short time working for Manitoba Housing in the 90s.

Linda and Henry enjoyed camping on summer weekends with family and friends at Icelandic State Park in Cavalier, ND along with the trips they took with family and friends to Cuba and Mexico.

When Henry was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 1996, Linda poured all her energy into taking care of him.  16 years of caring for Henry before he passed in 2012 was very hard on Linda. 

A big Thank-You to Home Care as well as the Altona and Boundary Trails Health Centre’s  for the care they provided Linda over the last few years.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cancer Care Manitoba.

Memorial service will be held on Friday, November 17, 2023 at 2:00 p.m at the Altona United Church, with a private family burial prior to the service at the Altona Cemetery.
