Linda Jane Brush (née Marshall)

At age 82, Linda Jane Brush (née Marshall) passed away at University Hospital on Monday, August 21, 2023. The daughter of David and Charlotte Marshall and the youngest of six children, she is predeceased by all her siblings: Charlotte LaFatta, Norman Marshall, David Marshall, Evelyn Ebbinghaus and Norma Iles. Cherished wife of 59 years, Linda was predeceased by her loving husband, Lynn Leighton Brush, in 2020, whom she has missed dearly these past three years. Beloved mother to Laird and Lise Brush; Susan Brush and Dan Bourque; and Eric and Pamela Brush. Dear Grandma to Taylor and Kevin Strybosch, Sarah Brush, and Jake Brush (Chelsea Dean); Jesse Sherriff and Kayla Shepard; Lexi Sherriff and Derek Coleman; Maegan and Adam Bryan, and Avery Brush. Loving great-grandma to Gwenyth and Luna Bryan, Benjamin and James Coleman. Originally from Windsor, Ontario, Linda and Lynn brought their family to London where they lived for 42 years. Linda loved having her family around her, walking on the beach in Myrtle, a game of Euchre with lots of teasing, a good book, a challenging puzzle, and she never met a chocolate she didn’t like. She is also remembered by her extended family, The Brush-Brats – Gary and Donna Brush, Camilla and Lorne MacKinnon, and Catherine Gniposky; her lifelong friends nicknamed The Dinosaur Club; her neighbours, work colleagues, and acquaintances. Her wonderful sense of humour, her warm and generous kindness, and her loving guidance will be dearly missed. Thank you to the paramedics and emergency room staff at University Hospital for their care.
