In loving memory of Linda Anne Cartwright (nee Nicholls), a cherished soul who graced this world from October 28, 1944, to January 2, 2024. At the age of 79, Linda bid farewell to her earthly journey, leaving behind a legacy of love, warmth, and enduring connections.
As we reflect on her life, we remember Linda as the beloved mother of Andrew, Julie, and Robert, a cherished sister, a devoted mother-in-law, a treasured nan, and a loyal friend to many. Linda’s presence in the lives of those around her was a source of comfort and joy. Her role as a mother was not just a title but a reflection of the love and dedication she poured into raising Andrew, Julie, and Robert. Her children, undoubtedly, carry forward the lessons of resilience, kindness, and strength that Linda imparted throughout their lives.
In the tapestry of Linda’s family, she was a loving sister to the late Sheila and Barbara. The bonds of sisterhood are unique and irreplaceable, and Linda’s memories will forever be intertwined with the shared laughter, challenges, and deep connections she forged with Sheila and Barbara.
Though Sheila has gone before her, Linda’s reunion with her sisters in the eternal embrace of time is a comforting thought. As a mother-in-law to Barry and Ela, Linda extended her love and care beyond her immediate family, creating a welcoming home for those who joined the family through marriage. Her kindness and generosity surely left an indelible mark on Barry, Ela, and their shared experiences with Linda.
Linda’s role as “nan” was one of pure delight, as she embraced the joys of grand motherhood with open arms. To Gavin, Joseph, Molly, Steven, Michael, Samantha, Daniel, and Maxine, she was not just a grandmother but a source of unconditional love, a confidante, and a wellspring of wisdom. The memories created in her presence will serve as lasting reminders of a grandmother who held a special place in the hearts of her grandchildren. Beyond her immediate family, Linda’s impact extended to a wider circle of friends, where she earned a reputation for being a wonderful and loyal companion. The threads of her friendships wove a tapestry of shared experiences, laughter, and mutual support. The connections Linda forged were not just casual; they were threads in the intricate fabric of her life, a testament to her ability to touch the lives of those around her.
In celebrating Linda’s life, a funeral service and celebration will be held on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, at 1:00 pm at Crewe Crematorium Chapel. It is a time to come together, not only to mourn but to honor and remember the woman who brought so much love and light into the lives of others. The family kindly requests those attending to wear blue or other bright colors—a poignant tribute to Linda’s vibrant spirit and the joy she infused into the lives of those around her.
In keeping with Linda’s spirit of generosity and compassion, the family requests that attendees refrain from bringing family flowers. Instead, they encourage kind donations in Linda’s memory, which will be directed to The Menieres Society and the Urology Ward at Leighton Hospital. These donations will serve as a fitting tribute to Linda’s memory, supporting causes that resonate with her values and principles.
