Linda was born February 15, 1955 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Joseph Kowarchuk and Lily Kowarchuk (nee Evans). Linda graduated from Daniel Macintyre and spent many years working at Great West Life.

Her love of people and animals led her to volunteer positions with seniors and veterinary hospitals in her later years. She always made sure her house felt like a home to everyone. Linda is survived by her daughter Ashley Burkowski and her partner Michael Innes of Winnipeg, Manitoba; her father Joseph Kowarchuk of Winnipeg; and her sisters, Brenda Fuz and her husband Chris, Laurie Kubas and her husband Peter; and her nieces and nephews, Sean, Stacey, Tyler and Jazmine, also residing in Winnipeg.
