It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Linda Marie Quan Searle on December 7, 2024, at the University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton, with Frances and Allen by her side. Linda was 71 years old. She was admitted to the hospital in September with lung issues and a transplant was needed but Linda’s health was not strong enough to endure such a rigorous procedure and recovery.
Linda Marie Quan was born on June 10, 1953, in St. John’s NL to Mary Madeline (Norman) (deceased May 2019) and James Joseph Quan (deceased 1954). Sister of Derrick Joseph Quan Searle (deceased July 2022), stepdaughter of Graydon William Searle (deceased April 2019).
She is survived by her sister, Frances (Searle) Goodfellow (Caledon, ON) and her nieces and nephews, Christopher (Calgary, AB) and Nicole (Moncton, NB) Searle, Brandon and Hailey Goodfellow (ON) and her Grand niece and nephew, Katie and Charlie Searle. She will be dearly missed. She will also be lovingly remembered by her Newfoundland family.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff of the University of Alberta Hospital, for their compassionate care and support, not only to Linda but to us, her family, as well.
Cremation has taken place. Linda will be buried at Mount Carmel Cemetery, St. John’s, NL, on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., a Celebration of Life to follow.
