In Memory

Linda Johnsen

January 29th, 1963 - May 29th, 2023

Born in Moose Jaw, SK

Passed in Calgary, AB

Linda Johnsen of Calgary, AB, passed away peacefully at the age of 60. She will be dearly missed by her partner Dean, her mother Jean, her sisters Bev (Jane) and Barbara, and her beloved dog Maisie. She is predeceased by her father, Reginald in 2022.

Linda was born in Moose Jaw and raised in Calgary. After high school, her first job was at AGT. After the Calgary Olympics, she worked in the trade show industry for a number of years but returned to Telus where she worked in event planning for 22 years.

Linda had several interests, including camping, cross stitch, and golf. But Linda will be best remembered for her love of dogs and the Saskatchewan Roughriders – she was equally passionate about them both. She travelled to many Grey Cups and made many friends along the way.

Linda was social, full of spirit, and fiercely loyal. She enjoyed a good laugh and was always up for an adventure. Her loss will leave a hole but the memories of her will always bring a smile.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Please visit prairierosefunerals.ca to leave messages of condolence. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to the animal rescue charity of your choice.

Linda, it's been a week since you left us, still in shock and disbelief. I feel very fortunate that I was able to spend some time with you, the last few days. I find comfort knowing that you will not be alone, as Emily, Sarah, Rylee, Tucker and little Rudi, were all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for their mom to hold them again.

To Dean & Linda’s family - so sorry to hear about Linda’s passing - my deepest condolences.
LJ was a breathe of fresh air. She energized the room when she was there. Always smiling & laughing.
I had the pleasure of working with her at Telus & used to see her at lots of football games decked out in her green. Not too mention Stampede festivities.
Linda had an incredible zest for life & will be missed. RIP sweet angel.

Our paths crossed many times over the years at AGT/TELUS and Linda’s hard work and upbeat attitude towards whatever task she was working on was contagious and always welcomed. Deepest condolences to your family and closest friends. So sorry for you loss.

When we met at a Stampeder game, both dressed in our Saskatchewan Roughrider green, we knew it was a match made in heaven. Who knew that meeting would turn into a twenty five year friendship. Over the years, we cried together (a few times) and laughed and laughed and laughed the rest of the time. So many good times, so many great conversations.

Linda was passionate, engaged, fun loving, loyal, generous, empathetic, and had a great sense of humor. She was “simply the best”.

I will miss her.

Until later girlfriend - rest easy…

I had the pleasure of working with Linda for a couple of years after she completed her Olympic project with AGT in 1988.

Our friendship grew over the years and we shared a lot of fun memorable times together. Even though both of our lives went in different directions, every time our paths crossed I was greeted with a smile, a hug. I will always remember her for her incredible zest for life.

Rest In Peace my dear friend. You will be truly missed by all the people whose lives you touched.

My deepest condolences to the Frizzell family.
