Linda Marlene Kobza Linda Marlene Kobza (nee Johnson) of Canal Flats, BC passed away on Wednesday, September 23, 2015 at the Invermere and District Hospital. Linda is survived by her husband Fritz Kobza, her sons and their families: Christopher and Kristen Vanderhorst (Olivia and Beckett); and Neil and Kim Vanderhorst (Emma, Rebecca, Claira, and Grace); her mother Laura Johnson of Cochrane, Alberta; her sisters Charlotte Henson; Catherine (Derek) Green; and Ingrid Johnson (Cory Rushford); and her nieces and nephews. Linda is predeceased by her father, Vern Johnson, and her sister, Carolyn Stefanson. Born in Holland, Manitoba to a military family, Linda lived in many places across Canada. She developed her creative skills and was a talented seamstress who enjoyed tackling projects and doing them well. Later she moved to Alberta and raised her sons in Edmonton, where she worked at University Hospital as an ECG technician. Linda and Fritz were married in 1985 and moved to Canal Flats in 1992 to pursue their life long dream of building a golf course and living in the mountains. Together they brought Th Flats Golf Course to life and enjoyed becoming part of their new community. Linda planned and established the Canal Flats Cemetery and created the town s sign on a sawmill blade to welcome visitors. From beautiful Ukrainian Easter eggs to beadwork to planning a golf course, if Linda could imagine it she had the skill and belief in herself to execute her plan. Linda always loved the sign on the highway that read, The Mountains Shall Bring Peace To The People and her family takes comfort knowing she will be at peace in the cemetery she planned, in the mountains she loved, with the sun shining down upon her. Linda s funeral service will be at 2:00 pm on Friday, October 23 at the Canal Flats Community Hall. In lieu of flowers, please direct donations towards Womens Mental Health. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com 2
