Linda Gail Isaac

I just heard the shocking news of Linda's passing. She was so full of life and joy when I last saw her. I am so very sad. I will make a donation in her memory.

My deepest condolences on the loss of Linda. I worked with Linda many years ago at Nelson. I will always remember her kind and embracing demeanour and great sense of humour. She was such a great educator and ambassador for the indigenous community. We had many great discussions that I will cherish. Many road trips remembered of her talking about her love for her kids, golf and curling. My condolences to her family

Linda was one of those rare people who made you feel like you were the most important person in the world when she was talking to you. Her warmth and ability to connect with people was outstanding, as was her energy in all that she did. I was lucky enough to meet Linda during my time as the principal of Indigenous education, then again just last year in a new role. Not only did Linda remember me, but she was keen & interested to get involved and partner in the work I am doing now. She was a bright light who never stopped shining, and I am better for having known her. Rest in power Linda.

With deep gratitude, I will always cherish the moments professionally and personally I shared with Linda. One of my fondest memories was our last time together in September, laughing and catching up as we chose books for our grandchildren. She touched my heart deeply, as I always felt I was in the presence of an Elder, and had a great respect for her guidance and wisdom. Her passion and commitment to embedding Indigenous Education across multiple classrooms, is inspiring and has created significant, much needed change. Tobacco down, and prayers up. I will truly miss you my friend.

Linda was a beloved colleague, friend, and nationally respected leader in education for reconciliation. She loved her family deeply and often shared heartfelt stories about her sweet grandchildren and her many hobbies—whether at the rink, on the golf course, or decorating her home for the holidays. Passionate and unwavering in her commitment to Indigenous education, Linda's work has profoundly influenced how schools and leaders across Canada respond to the Calls to Action. She had a remarkable ability to bring people and ideas together and was a joy to be around. She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered.

Sending my condolences to Linda's family. I met Linda through curling - I spared on her team a few times and she was very kind and friendly - she even offered me a pair of curling shoes that she didn't need. She was so easy to talk to and welcomed everyone in her presence. The world has lost a kind soul. Rest in peace Linda.

I am sorry about your beautiful mom. I loved her. She was a wonderful friend. Best granny, and mom. Prayers to you and the family.

Sending sincerest condolences to the Isaac & Bigwin family. Truly a shock to hear of Linda’s sudden passing. May she rest in peace! Baa Maa Pii.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of our beloved Linda. Though I only had the chance to speak with her occasionally, her warmth, kindness, and strength left a lasting impression. Like a steady river that nourishes the earth, her presence brought calm and life to those around her. In my faith, we believe that the soul continues its journey beyond this world, travelling through the spiritual realms like the wind moves freely over the land. It is said: “The spirit, after its separation from the body, will continue to progress in the divine world.” May each prayer offered be like a wind beneath her wings, lifting her soul ever closer to peace and light. I find comfort knowing that her spirit now rests peacefully, embraced by the eternal light, much like the sun setting only to rise again with renewed strength. With deepest sympathy and prayers, Eli

Dear family and friends, My condolences on the passing of Linda.I had the privilege of meeting Linda several years ago in her role as the national director of Indigenous Education at Nelson. She was a strong advocate ,supporter and leader in Canada in this work. Always gracious, insightful and pleasant to be with. Her leadership will be missed across Canada. Thank you Linda for sharing your teachings with me and many others.

To Linda's family, many dear friends, and colleagues, I extend heartfelt condolences. It was a great shock to receive the news that Linda had left this earthly realm. I had the great pleasure of working with and learning from Linda throughout my in-house stint at Nelson Education. I loved how she spoke so eloquently, sincerely, and memorably on issues of utmost importance to all Canadians, not such students and teachers. She was passionately devoted to Truth and Reconciliation. And what fun it was to enjoy Linda's effervescent company at the Nelson sales conference in St-Sauveur! She will be forever loved and appreciated and never, ever forgotten.

So proud that I got work with Linda on the EDI committee at Nelson. She was fierce, bold, and such a positive presence, and she always had something thoughtful to say. It's an honour to have met her.

Our heart are broken for Linda’s family. We have fond memories of days gone by. Rest easy old friend..❤️
