Edward Lindsell passed away at the age of 85 years in Pincher Creek surrounded by love on February 13, 2022.
Ed, born November 15, 1936, grew up in Portsmouth, England. His education led him to sail on the RMS Queen Elizabeth I as a steam engineer until he met and married the love of his life, Linda. In order to be closer to his growing family, he joined the Portsmouth City Police and served 4 years as constable. Together, Ed and Lin immigrated to Canada with 2 young children in tow, a move Ed described as being one of his smartest decisions only second to marrying Lin. They settled in Pincher Creek in 1969, where Ed worked for Shell Canada and their family grew to include 2 more children. In “retirement” Ed began his most favorite job, driving school bus.
Ed loved playing tennis, badminton and squash with anyone brave enough to stand on the other side of the net. Their love of hiking had Ed and Lin trekking the West Coast Trail and summers were spent exploring and camping in Waterton. Their travels took them to far off places, like the Cook Islands, Spain, Portugal, the Middle East and South America to name a few. Born to show off, Ed was also a famous actor with the Windy Hollow Players and his children were so proud to watch him perform on stage.
Ed is survived by his wife and best friend of 60 years, Linda. He will be missed by his 4 children; Andrew (Sandra) of Claresholm, Pippa (Brent) of Lethbridge, Catherine (Pat) of Lethbridge, Ian (Barb) of Coleman as well as his grandchildren; Logan, Colton (Deanna), Mikayla (Alex), Austin; Jocelyn (Cody), Kyla (Brett); Kyra, Sydney, Michael; Alicia (Tony), Eddie; and 6 great grandchildren. Ed was predeceased by his parents, his younger brother John, Logan’s wife Kayla and their unborn child Effie.
