We Remember

LINTHWAITE, Patricia

April 26, 1936 — August 22, 2025

Born on April 26, 1936, Patricia Linthwaite, beloved mother and grandmother, passed away unexpectedly on August 22, 2025, at the age of 89. Patricia was loved infinitely by her family and she will be missed beyond measure by her daughter, Danielle (Joseph) Padula, and her grandchildren, Jake, Eliza, and Lola Padula.

Patricia loved life – she never stopped living life to the fullest and pursuing her next adventure.

As a young girl, Patricia grew up in Vancouver, BC. She spent her summers in Kelowna, BC water-skiing and enjoying the sun. After high school, Patricia attended the University of British Columbia to study child psychology. Patricia then went on to receive a business certificate from the Pitman School of Business in Vancouver.

After completing her education, Patricia took a trip to Europe where she travelled to England, Spain, France, and Italy. That was it – she had the travel bug. After her European trip, it would be 30 years before she returned to Canada, eventually settling in Kelowna. During those 30 years, Patricia got married and had a daughter. She also travelled extensively, and lived in Alaska, USA; Washington, USA; Africa, Guam, USA, and Saudi Arabia. Patricia returned to Kelowna and had a fulfilling career with the Federal Government and making many lifelong friends.

After retirement, Patricia spent time in California, USA with her daughter and grandchildren.

Patricia had many dear friends, she was a good friend and in return she had good friends surrounding her.

Patricia was loved by the many who knew her, and she will be very missed.

A private memorial will be held in honour of Patricia.
