ZWICKER, Linda May

Kentville, NS June 2, 1946 - January 25, 2024


It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Linda May Zwicker, a caring, loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, on Thursday January 25th, 2024, at the Valley Hospice where she went to sleep peacefully surrounded by family and friends.


Born in Wolfville Hospital on June 2nd, 1946, she was the daughter of Pierce and Nellie (Virtue) Schofield.

Linda lit up any room she entered and sprinkled her kindness and generosity wherever she went. Her heart was filled with warmth, kindness and optimism and she was able to bring out the good in everyone she met by sharing that with them. Linda dedicated her life to her God, Jehovah and was baptized on December 8th, 1974. She was a zealous Christian that wanted to spread Jehovah’s message and teach his great news to all people for the future. Her faith was intact throughout the years even during her last year of battling cancer, where she found comfort in Jehovah’s words on Rev. 21:4 "death will be no more".


Linda is survived by the love of her life Jack Zwicker (who loved her without words) recently celebrating 56 years of marriage. Also left to mourn are her daughter Krista, and son-in-law Alfred. She leaves behind her loving grandchildren, Kaitlyn and Jacob. Linda is also survived by her brother Curtis (Judy) Schofield, along with numerous family members. She was predeceased by her infant son Trevor.


Linda spent 49 years in the volunteer ministry in multiple provinces within Canada, supporting the role of her husband Jack. She also was a loving spiritual sister in the many congregations she was a part of. She was a great cook and made delicious dishes that many people enjoyed. Linda loved using her hairdressing skills and doing the hair of many sisters. She loved talking to people anywhere she was. She also enjoyed playing crokinole with her dear friend Betty and both enjoyed endless walks where they were known by many neighbors. Linda always had great stories to be shared and was always very interested in the well-being of others.

Linda was one of a kind. She was truly loved by all who knew her. She was always a helper, honest, loving and a true woman who loved her family dearly. She is and always will be loved and missed by all who she leaves behind.


We want to thank palliative care, doctors, and nurses as well as the excellent staff of Valley hospice and others who cared for Linda.


Cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation. A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 10th, 2024, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 2 Baden Powell in Kentville, NS.
