With great sadness, the family of Linda Jewell announces her passing at the age of 75 on June 11, 2020 after a long, courageous battle with cancer. Loving and devoted wife of Duncan for over 50 years. She will be dearly missed by her children Amy of Niagara-on-the-Lake and Greg of Whistler. Linda was predeceased by her parents Lawson and Lorene Blake (nee Grass). A Registered Nurse for 34 years, Linda worked at hospitals in Toronto and Ajax. Linda will be remembered for being a gracious hostess at Viewpoint Bed & Breakfast and enjoyed reading, live theatre, gardening, genealogy and travelling. Linda and Duncan’s love of travel took them to many European countries, the Caribbean and the numerous US states.
We would like to thank the nurses at Huron Residential Hospice for their exceptional care and compassion. A special thank you to Dr. H. Watson for her superb care and support.
At Linda’s request, cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation or service. Due to the current circumstances, a celebration of her life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the Family would appreciate memorial donations to Huron Hospice at www.huronhospice.ca

Dear Duncan, Amy and Greg (and Tucker). We are so, so sorry for your loss, but grateful that we had the chance to get to know Linda. Roula, Laith and I want to extend our deepest condolences. Duncan, I first met you and Linda in the courthouse square in Goderich, at an outdoor concert in 2014. I had been advised as a newbie political candidate that I absolutely needed to recruit Duncan Jewell to work on my campaign. You accepted to help me, but the great surprise was that Linda was part of the package. Your house in Goderich and your gracious hospitality enveloped us again and again and again. In the years to follow, Linda was always there to help, to listen and to offer advice. We will all miss her greatly. — Allan Thompson
