Jennifer Louise Culbert (Linklater) 1952-2024
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jennifer Louise Culbert (Linklater), age 72, from Goderich. Jennifer passed away peacefully on July 11th, 2024, at Bluewater Rest Home in Zurich, surrounded by her loving family.
Jennifer was born to Frank and Anne Linklater and was the beloved wife of Mark Culbert. She was the devoted mother of Marcy Bachert (Ben Bachert) and Carly Armstrong (Tim Armstrong), and the proud grandmother of Vaughan, West, and Dax, who were the light of her life. Jennifer also cherished her stepdaughters Lindsay Durst (Zac Durst) and Holly Durst (Adam Durst), and her step-grandchildren Everly, Faren, Abby, and Connor. She shared a special bond with her dog, Diva, whom she fondly referred to as “The best dog!”
Predeceased by her siblings Paul, Ruth, Peggy, Judy, Mary, Bill, and Barb, Jennifer is survived by her brother Roy.
Jennifer’s life was characterized by her courage, even in the face of fear. She always led with love and was known for her wonderful smile and infectious laugh that brought joy to everyone around her. Jennifer was a favourite to so many people and was admired for her beauty, both inside and out.
A celebration of Jennifer’s life will be held at the Knights of Columbus in Goderich, Ontario, on July 20th from 1-4 pm. The event will begin with a memorial service, followed by a luncheon and sharing of memories. All who knew and loved Jennifer are welcome to attend.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff who assisted while she was at home and those at Bluewater Rest Home for their compassionate care.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Huntington’s Society of Canada in Jennifer’s memory. An organization close to her heart.
Thank you for helping us honor Jennifer’s memory and celebrate the beautiful life she lived.

I was so sorry to hear of Jennifer’s passing. We were close friends in Salford elementary school. She features in many of my favourite childhood memories. We used to dress up in her older sister’s clothes and pretend to be them, going on dates. Always lots of fun at her house. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I met Jennifer in the 1980s and also had the pleasure of working with her at Carscallen, Reinhart, Mathany, Nagle law office. She was a sweetheart and we had some fun times, especially at pool parties in her backyard, ladies only, children allowed! Most of us have since scattered to the four winds but I had the opportunity to visit her and Mark a couple of times after her move to Goderich and was warmly welcomed. Sadly, time and distance separated us, but I extend my sincere sympathy to Mark, Marcy, Carly and their families. Jennifer overcame adversity in her life with fortitude and a smile, and I hope she is now at peace.
