It is with great sadness and the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Linda Gail Oakman, at the age of 79, on October 2, 2023, at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

When she retired, she moved to Mackenize, B.C., and made many friends. Her next journey took her to Vernon, B.C.
Linda enjoyed spending time with family and friends at 22 Mile, Williston Lake. She travelled many kilometres with her camperized van. She even ventured to Vancouver Island by herself to visit family and friends. Crocheting, Casinos and game nights were her passions. She loved having a good time. She had a big personality and loved to make people laugh and was a natural at telling people exactly how she felt.
