September 7, 1951 – April 16, 2020
at the age of 68 years:
We invite you to celebrate the life of Linda on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at 11:00am at Fischer’s Funeral home.
It is with a heavy heart that the family of Linda Gildersleve, daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother announce her passing on April 16, 2020 after a valiant fight with cancer.
Linda was born in Redvers, SK and was Gilbert & Orma’s firstborn. She is pre-deceased by her brother, Douglas (1980) and her previous husband Al (2000). She is survived by her husband (Barry Gildersleve), parents, 3 sisters, brothers-in-law, children Brian, Colleen, Douglas (Susan), Candice (Andrew), Karl (Christine), grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and aunts and uncles.
Family was everything to Linda. She had recently retired from her much loved position at the City of Surrey and relocated to Salmon Arm to be closer to her parents. Linda was a kind, generous person who saw the best in everyone. She loved to travel, photography, friends, and going for long walks. She was very artistic and loved to paint watercolors of much loved memories.
Her passing has left a very empty spot in our family. She was taken much too soon and is greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Aplastic Anemia and Myelodysplasia Association of Canada would be greatly appreciated. (AAMAC)
We invite you to celebrate the life of Linda on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at 11:00am at Fischer’s Funeral home.

Teresa was born in Kamloops BC on July 30th, 1968. She Passed away in Salmon Arm BC on April 15th, at the age of 51. She was predeceased by her brothers Allan and Gordy and her sister Lisa. She is survived by her father Cecil, mother Dianne, husband Tom, sons Aaron and William, step-sons Darryl and Ian, grandchildren Shawn, Matt, Beth, and Audrey, as well as her best friend Deanna Crawford. Teresa worked many jobs here in Salmon Arm during her life, but her longest lasting was her dedication as an officer of the CIC program helping to run the Army Cadet Corps in Salmon Arm, Sicamous, and Enderby until her medical release from the CAF. Teresa lived abroad starting almost as soon as she was born, with her parents Cecil and Dianne moving the family to Australia, New Guinea, and many other exciting exotic locales as a child. When they returned to Canada, they settled down in the Shuswap area where Teresa lived the remainder of her life. Teresa was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a few years ago, and it has been actively involved in the local Parkinson’s support group helping to co-ordinate their fundraisers and meetings.
Teresa’s celebration of life is delayed until such time as it is safe to do so. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Parkinson Society BC at
