DAVIDSON, LINDA MARLENE On January 30, 1949, James and Leona Bigger welcomed their first daughter, Linda Marlene. Since that time, she grew into a fine woman with a family that loved her dearly. So, it is with great sadness that we announce her death on May 2, 2008 peacefully at her home in Fredericton Junction. Linda leaves behind to mourn, her husband, Joseph Davidson, her son, Douglas (Karen) Janes of Cold Lake Alberta, daughters Jacqueline (Jason) Shannon and Robin (Jeff) Howe, all of Hoyt, NB. No one loved or was more proud of their grandchildren than "Nanny". Kayla, Jordan, Lauren, Mark, Emily, Emmett, Kennedy and Aurora will miss her thoughtful ways and how she shared her love of crafts with them. Her Mother, Leona Bigger of Fredericton Junction, sister, Jolene (Frankie) Hartt, Fredericton, brothers Barry (Marilyn) of Florenceville, Bev, Bob(Andrew) and John (Lori) all of Fredericton Junction will miss her and how she unselfishly shared and cared for each of us in her own unique way. When she married Joe, she earned herself another 'family' of whom she spoke fondly, including Father-in-Law, Calvin Davidson and brothers and sisters-in-law Karen (Bob) Slauenwhite, Stephen (Lori) Davidson, Lori (Steven) Armstrong, Mike (Stacey) Davidson, Wendy (Dale) Ryan. Linda maintained relationships with a vast extended family including many nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. She was predeceased by her Father Jim Bigger and Mother-in-Law Sandra Davidson. Linda was a friend to many and was very active in her community. She belonged to many organizations including the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #55, the Gladstone Curling Club and Saint Columba's Catholic Church. As a great lover of animals, we know she would appreciate that donations be made to the Oromocto SPCA in her memory, or the Charity of your choice. Family and friends are invited for visitation at Sunbury Funeral Home on Tuesday, May 6th, 4 to 8 PM. A Legion Tribute for Linda will be held at Sunbury Funeral Home on Tuesday at 7 PM. Linda's Funeral Mass will be celebrated from St. Columba Catholic Church on Wednesday at 11 AM with Father Ken Weir officiating. The arrangements are entrusted to Sunbury Funeral Home, Central Blissville, N. B., 368-2413.
