PEREPELUK, Linda Beryl
August 31, 1946 – December 10, 2023
Our hearts are heavy as we share with you the loss of our beloved mother, grandmother, wife, and friend Linda Beryl (Barclay/Husberg) Perepeluk.
Linda is survived by her loving husband Thomas Perepeluk; children, Shelly, Sandra, and Sherri; and grandchildren, Michael, Shayla, Sianna, Logan Cassandra, and Paige.
Linda will be greatly missed by all members of the family and friends that knew her. Her life was taken too soon and unexpectedly as she had battled with a vascular disease these past years. Linda lived for many years in the northern communities of Athabasca, Fort McMurray, Flin Flon and grew up in Nanton, Alberta. Living many years in the northern town of Flin Flon, Linda grew to love fishing and being in the outdoors. We recall laughing about how we would go out amongst the bears and mosquitoes to obtain a simple gallon container of blueberries. Linda was a role model to her family in her diverse abilities to take on what lay in front of her. Her multitasking abilities created many opportunities for employment from being the merchandise investment manager at the Hudson’s Bay Company to accounts payable at Syncrude Canada, to reception manager at the Athabasca Veterinary Clinic.
Her love for animals was apparent as there were many rescued pets that were loved in her presence. Linda “ had a formidable source of energy about her”. She did not like to sit still much except when she was reading. Linda loved to read and once told me how she had read all the books in the Nanton and the Athabasca library. You would find her reading three to five books a week or more in the earlier days. We will miss her laughter and remember her smile and hold her love in our hearts as we say goodbye but never to forget her presence in our lives. We would like to thank everyone for the great care she received from the Claresholm Emergency Dept., Stars Air Ambulance, and ICU Foothills Hospital, Calgary.
A Celebration of Life for the family will be held on Linda’s Birthday 2024.
She was my role model, my friend, and my mother, and will be greatly missed.
