Obituary of Linda Louise Rendall

It is with utter devastation that the family of Linda Louise Rendall (née Blake) announce her sudden death on January 16^th, 2019 in her home in Vineland, ON, at the age of 53. In passing, Linda joins her infant brother Gary (1958), mother Patricia Blake (2016) and father John Blake (2018), predeceased. Linda leaves behind her high school sweetheart, husband, and soulmate of 38 years, Thomas Laird Rendall, and her greatest joys, her sons, Jordan (Britney), Carter (Shoko), and Theo. Linda is survived by her siblings Diane Blake, John Blake (Laurie), Arlene Blake-Brown (Alan), David Blake (Dianna), Joanne Boeck (Wolfgang), Gerald Blake (Rachel), her mother and father-in-law Marlene and Larry Rendall, her sister-in-law Kim Van Rooy (John), and brother-in-law Dave ‘Chip’ Rendall (Angela), her many nieces and nephews, many more beloved friends, and her fur ball Roxy. Linda was a light to all who knew her. Early in life she studied fashion design making many unique creations for herself and customers, and then chose to raise her three boys at home, where she also ran a daycare. In 1999 Linda began a successful career as a residential appraiser, building her own business, and earning her an outstanding reputation and accolades in her field. Linda was optimistic, devoted, and passionate in every area she chose to pursue, and boy did she love to dance. Above all else, she was dedicated to building a strong, supportive, and loving family, of which she was fiercely proud. Although she often ran late in life, those who knew and loved Linda are now saying goodbye far too soon.
