On Tuesday, January 2, 2024, at the age of 66, Lostwithiel bid farewell to a beloved member of its community, Linda Rowe. She passed away peacefully at Mount Edgcumbe Hospice, leaving behind a legacy of love, warmth, and cherished memories that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her.
Linda, born to Edna and Albert Jackson (both now deceased), played many roles throughout her life—dear daughter, beloved wife, loving mother, special grandma, much-loved sister, cherished aunt, and, of course, a very special friend. Her life was a tapestry woven with threads of love, compassion, and the deep connections she forged with family and friends.
Linda was a devoted daughter, and the memories of her parents, Edna and Albert, undoubtedly held a special place in her heart. The lessons she learned from them undoubtedly influenced the compassionate, caring, and loving person she became. Her journey in building a family of her own began when she became the beloved wife of Patrick.
Their union was a testament to enduring love, a partnership that weathered life’s storms and celebrated its joys. Linda and Patrick’s bond was a source of strength and support, laying the foundation for a family filled with love and togetherness.
Linda’s most cherished role was that of a loving mother to Laura. Her love extended not only to her daughter but also to Missy, the family dog. Linda’s nurturing spirit created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and the comfort that only a mother’s love can provide. Laura, in turn, brought joy and pride to Linda as she embraced the journey of motherhood herself. Reece, Laura’s husband, held a special place in Linda’s heart as her son-in-law.
Their relationship was a testament to the welcoming and inclusive nature of Linda, who extended her love and care to those who became part of her family. The bonds formed between Linda and Reece were built on mutual respect and shared joy.
