We Remember

MEADOWS, Linda “Lindy” Robina
October 18, 1949 — June 28, 2025
It is with immense love that we announce the loss of Linda “Lindy” Robina Meadows, who passed away unexpectedly on June 28, 2025, at the age of 75.
Lindy leaves behind a wealth of love, including her partner of 19 years, Paul; sons from her first marriage, Ian and Lee; Paul’s daughter Kaitlin; son-in-law Matthew; daughters-in-law Samantha and Chantel; grandchildren Abigail and Emmett; and her husband from her first marriage, Eugene.
She was predeceased by her loving parents, Semla “Billy” and Robert “Bob”.
Lindy was born and raised in Vancouver, BC, and spent her life as someone who was thoughtful, curious, and deeply engaged with the world around her. Everyone knew her simply as Lindy, a name that suited her warmth and easy presence. She built a full life, raising her family in Windermere, BC with her first husband, Eugene. She had a way of making people feel at home. Her sons’ friends always knew they could count on a good meal and a place to feel welcome.
Lindy’s creativity showed up early in her love of theatre. She went to acting school, but soon realized she was more at home directing, where her clarity and eye for detail stood out. She became a familiar presence in the local theatre community and later opened an art gallery, blending her artistic vision with her natural connection to others. At the same time, she had a deep interest in science and kept a well-stocked, well-read library. It was something she shared with her partner Paul. She was genuinely fascinated by his work as a scientist and spent time in the lab with him, taking it all in. Lindy also loved the outdoors, including camping, fly-fishing, and hunting, which she passed on to her children. She had a particular love for poetry, and even in the face of health challenges later in life, she held onto her optimism and determination.
She made the most of every moment, and will be missed more than words can say.
The family is thankful for the compassionate and professional care provided by Cottonwoods Care Centre in Kelowna, BC
Lindy’s family will hold a private gathering at a later date to commemorate her at Lake Enid, a place she cherished deeply and where many special memories were made.
In honour of Lindy, please consider donations to Cottonwoods Care Centre through the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation (when it asks “Direct my donation to” – select Cottonwoods Extended Care).
