Her daughter Michelle welcomed her with open arms into Heaven, to be reunited again. She was predeceased by her parents, Jean and Thomas Lowes; daughter, Michelle Westermann; and son-in-law, Garnet Westermann. Linda was born Linda May Lowes on January 1st, 1949 at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who devoted her life to her children and all those in her care.
Linda met the love of her life, Lawrence Odowichuk, and they were married on September 5th, 1998. She had a long career working at Citizen’s All Association, caring for those with special needs. In 1995, Linda decided to open her own approved private service home through Community Living. Her passion for caring for others continued until her passing.
Linda’s interests included date nights with her husband, going for coffee, movies, and concerts. She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and her dog Billy. She also enjoyed going on outings at Wascana Park and had fond memories of travelling to Las Vegas with the ladies. One of Linda’s favourite things was running the Friday Night Diversified Dances, something she did for a number of years.
Linda is survived by her husband, Lawrence Odowichuk and his family; daughter, Jackie (Rob) Yee; son, Mike Craig and family; her youngest son, Tommy Craig and family; and grandchildren, Andrew and Austin Westermann and families.

Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Andrew Pratt Funeral Director 306-693-4550.
My condolences, Lawrence and Susan, and family. I admired Linda a great deal. She was dedicated to ensuring those she supported had opportunities to fulfill their dreams, whether it be going on a trip, getting a tattoo, or saving for a big purchase. She had a big heart and made this world a better place.
Lawrence my deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your wife. My thoughts are with you.
So sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. I was an old school friend of hers. I moved out here to BC. We did email back and forth. Her daughter became ill and that was the last I heard from her. She was a good friend to me. I was told by another friend in Moose Jaw about her passing. So very sad. God bless you who are left to mourn.
My deepest condolences to you Lorance and family. Linda was a very lovely person and will be sadly missed bless you and your family
