LINDSELL

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.

He was one of the first Chemistry Instructors hired by the University of Lethbridge and worked there over the next 38 years guiding the development of laboratory skills and critical thinking in almost two full generations of undergraduate science students. Bob and Sandra traveled to numerous countries around the world and passed on their love to travel to their son, Ryan. They were pioneers of West Lethbridge, building the 7th house on the west side of the city. Bob was a fly fisherman, avid golfer, baseball and softball player, racquet ball and squash player, curler, cyclist, runner, and soccer coach. Bob was an especially accomplished squash player competing nationally and later receiving national coaching certification. He volunteered extensively in the community he loved including two terms as President of the Lethbridge YMCA, a member of both the Masonic and Shrine orders, and Senator at the University of Lethbridge. He will be greatly missed by his family and his many friends.

We are very touched to have received a personal letter from the President of the University of Lethbridge which in part reads: “In recognition of Bob’s passing, today we have lowered our flag; a statement of respect regarding all that Bob contributed to the U of L and how much he will be missed.” Attached below is a communication regarding Bob’s passing that is posted on the U of L’s Notice Board.
