It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Ruth Shannon Hatton, age 70, of Springhill.  Linda passed away with her family by her side on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at the Moncton Hospital.

Born in Springhill, she was the daughter of the late Brud and Mary (Gowans) Crummey.

She loved her children and grandchildren more than anything in the world. She was a true friend to everyone.  "If she hasn't a joke or a story to tell, or if she's not smiling, then all is not well."  She loved watching television, especially Coronation Street, which reminded her of her mother who was from Scotland.

She will be dearly missed by her daughters Diane (Roy) Hatton-Bradbury, St. Thomas, ON, Cindy (Wayne) Gillam, Moncton; 4 grandchildren Kristopher (Charmaine) Landry, Renée Landry, Avery and Deklan Gillam; great grandson Zander Landry; step-brother Robin (Sandy) Wilson, Langley, BC; several very special friends.

She was predeceased by Ralph Hatton.

Arrangements have been entrusted to A H Brown Funeral Home, 5 McFarlane St., Springhill, NS (902-597-2361) where an Afternoon of Remembrance will be held on Sunday, November 12 from 2 to 4 pm.    Following the Afternoon of Remembrance, she will be buried with her parents in the Hillside Cemetery, Springhill.

Those wishing to make a donation in Linda's memory may do so to the L A Animal Shelter or the charity of your choice.
