Sieglinde "Linda" Hellwig

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mrs. Sieglinde “Linda” Hellwig, beloved wife of the late Mr. Lothar Hellwig, who peacefully passed away on November 17, 2024, at the Chartwell Eau Claire Care Home in Calgary, Alberta, at the age of 82.

Linda will be lovingly remembered by her daughters Irene (Brian) Addley, Nancy (Jonathan) Harris, and her sons Marlon (Mindy) Hellwig and Bryan (Theresa) Hellwig, her siblings Ray (Lilly) Liebau and Marrianne (Hans) Schultz, as well as her nine cherished grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her parents, Ellie and August Liebau.

Born in Arnswalde, Pommern, Germany, in 1942, Linda immigrated to Canada at the age of 21, joining her uncle in Turin, Alberta. Her parents and siblings soon followed. It was in Canada that she met her beloved husband, Lothar Hellwig, and together they built a life on a farm in Picture Butte, Alberta, where they raised their family. Through her determination and dedication, Sieglinde learned English by reading the local newspaper and even taught herself to drive. Later, the family moved to Coaldale, where Sieglinde continued to nurture her family and community.

A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Linda's love for her faith and family was central to her life. She was a proud and loving grandmother.

Her strength, kindness, and unwavering commitment to her loved ones will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

A Friend’s Meet the Family will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, November 23, 2024, followed by the Funeral Service at 11:00 AM at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2410 28 St S, Lethbridge, AB.

Interment will take place at Mountain View Cemetery, with a reception to follow at the German-Canadian Club, 902 6 St N, Lethbridge, AB.

In lieu of flowers, family would appreciate a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society in Linda's name.
