Mom was born in 1918 in Mount Green, Saskatchewan. She grew up on the farm as one of eight children born to John and Perpetua Linn. After relocating to Manitoba, near the end of the Great Depression, she met "Hughie," the love of her life, whom she married in 1944. Together they relocated to Poplar Point, Manitoba, where they raised their five "Pebbles" and farmed until 1961. They then relocated the family to Winnipeg, where Mom resided in St. James until her passing. Prayers will be said on Monday February 7 at 7:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue.
