Linda Helen May Klughart 
October 8, 1952 ~ January 27, 2024

Linda Helen May Klughart was the fifth child born to Lester and Lorraine (née Blunt) Klughart on October 8, 1952, in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. She was reunited with them on January 27, 2024, due to a sudden and unexpected passing at the age of 71 years. She will be forever missed by her foster daughters, Maria and June; foster grandchildren, Shanda, Jessica, Stephan, and Tanner; foster great-grandchildren, Nehkaiya, Jace, Nevaeh, Justice, and Aiden; siblings, John Klughart of Edmonton, Alberta, Barbara Kaat of Missouri, USA, and Susan (Paul) Ziehl of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan; sister-in-law, Marlene Klughart of Nanaimo, British Columbia; special nephew, Eric (Melissa) Klughart and their children Drake and Brantley of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, church family, extended family, and friends. Linda was predeceased by her parents, Lester Gilbert (January 7, 1996) and Avis Lorraine (December 10, 1982) Klughart; siblings, Lester Jr. Klughart and Gordon Klughart; as well as many dear loved ones that went before her.

Linda played an especially important role in the lives of Maria, Susan and Paul, Susan’s son Eric, his wife Melissa, and their two boys, Drake and Brantley. She spent all major holidays and many family times with them. There will always be many memories of family sitting around Linda’s table as she cooked many celebratory meals for major holidays, as well as Sunday suppers and birthdays. Linda loved to cook big meals, and the more family and friends she had to surround her, the happier she was! She gifted her family with many special baked treats; we could just mention we were hungry for something, and she would make it and show up at our door with it. Her great-nephews, Drake and Brantley, being too young to dial the phone, would often get their grandma to help them call Auntie Linda to request Rice Krispie cake or chocolate chip cookies, and she would deliver them still warm within an hour or two of their request, to be enjoyed at grandma’s house before going home. Linda sincerely spoiled her sister Susan and Susan’s family in any way she could think of. Linda was always just a phone call away for her family, and her older sister Barbara will truly miss their video chats.

After finishing high school, Linda went to post-secondary school to become a social worker. She worked for a number of years at Pine Grove Correctional Centre before deciding to return to school to become a teacher, a career she excelled at and greatly enjoyed. During her career, she taught at Buffalo Narrows, Christopher Lake, Wesmor, and John Diefenbaker. Even after retirement, Linda felt she had more to contribute, so she began another career at Kin Enterprises, which she also retired from to pursue her many hobbies, including gardening, wood carving, painting, sewing, and embroidery, to name a few. Linda loved church from a very young age, and upon retiring for the last time, she strived to be a more active part of it. She was a youth leader, camp counsellor, and campfire leader. Linda was among the first women to be called to the priesthood in the Community of Christ Church. She held the office of priest, elder, and then the office of 70. Linda also had a passion for genealogy and keeping her mom’s family recipes alive. She will be forever remembered and loved by those whose lives she touched and those who loved her.
