After a short battle with cancer, Linda Delahunty passed away on March 27th, 2016 at 70 years of age. Born on Bell Island in 1945, Linda grew up in a close community, surrounded by friends and family. She spent many years helping students pursue their goal of a post-secondary education through her work with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador's Student Aid Division. A wonderful mother to her two sons, Linda was also a devoted, fun-loving grandmother, truly adored by her eight grandkids. Always beautifully turned-out, Linda lived a gentle, dignified life. She loved to travel and looked for every opportunity to get together with her family and friends. She was a wonderful, giving, caring woman and she will be missed terribly by so many. Linda was predeceased by her husband Basil; parents Raymond and Ann Kearley; and sister Margaret Hammond. She is survived by her three brothers, two sons, three stepchildren, and eight grandchildren.
