Linda Rachel (Robertson) McCune

It is with deep sadness that the family of Linda Rachel (Robertson) McCune, 83, announces her passing on December 01, 2025 in Cornwall, Ontario. Linda was preceded in death by her parents Donald Clifford Robertson and Edith Victoria Cook.

Born and raised in Quebec City, Linda dedicated her life to caring for others. She trained as a nurse at Jeffrey Hale Hospital and went on to serve in hospitals in Quebec City, Montreal, and Mississauga. She later worked at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, where her compassion and calm presence touched many lives.

Linda’s commitment to care extended well beyond her nursing career. She ran a daycare for many years, creating a warm and nurturing environment for countless children. She also volunteered generously at a nursing home in Lancaster, Ontario, offering comfort and companionship to residents.

A talented cook and gracious host, Linda loved welcoming family and friends into her home. She found joy in camping and spending time outdoors, and she cared deeply for her grandchildren and everyone around her. Linda and her husband, Tom, were lifelong members of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Lancaster, Ontario, where their faith and church community remained central parts of their lives. She was a dedicated member of St. Andrew’s Ladies Group and the Bible Study Group, offering her time, support, and friendship to all who gathered there. 

Linda leaves behind her loving husband Thomas Watson McCune; her son Roger Thomas McCune (Lamoine McCune); and her daughter Trudy Edith McCune Chiasson (Yvon Chiasson). She is survived by her brother Ross Robertson (Darla Drouin) and predeceased by her siblings Arthur Leaman Robertson (Shirley) and (Wendy Deary) and Barbara Ryan Robertson (the late Bill Ryan) and (the late Tom Parker).

She will be deeply missed by her grandchildren Tyler McCune, Garett McCune, and Chantal Chiasson, as well as by her many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Linda’s kindness, strength, and generosity of spirit will be remembered by all who knew her.

A celebration of Linda’s life will be held on May 16, 2026 @ 2:00 pm, at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, located at 20389 Church Street in South Lancaster, Ontario. 

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the incredible staff of St. Joseph’s Villa Continuing Care Centre, Quinn Ward in Cornwall. Your love, compassion, and exceptional care over the past 6½ years meant more than words can express. Thank you as well to all the friends and family who visited Linda at St. Joseph’s—your presence brought her comfort and joy. 

We are also deeply grateful to Reverend Ian MacMillan of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Lancaster, Ontario, and Reverend Adams of St. John's Presbyterian Church in Cornwall for the care, support, and spiritual comfort they provided to our family.

If desired, donations in Linda’s memory may be made to St. Andrews Church in Lancaster, Ontario or St. Joseph’s Villa Continuing Care Centre in Cornwall, Ontario.
