Linda Robinson-Edwin

Linda Joan Robinson-Edwin was a dedicated mother, passionate physiotherapist, loving sister, auntie, cousin, and friend. After a year of navigating health challenges, she took her final breath on September 28, 2026, surrounded by love.

Linda was born to Rudolph and Pancilia ("Pansy") Robinson and was the sister of John and Elsa, and the mother of Yannik and Asha. She grew up in Jamaica, where much of her foundation, friendships, and family bonds were formed, allowing her to carry a sense of community forward throughout her life.

After completing her degrees and early career placements, Linda began working as a brilliant physiotherapist. She served as a practitioner and educator for many over her more than 30-year career. Everyone knew Linda as a physio, but it wasn't just about her profession; it was the way she held space and showed care. Her clinic was known for its calming energy and client-centred space where she built a community of care and support for everyone who walked through the door.

Linda’s way of caring, effortless as some might say, did not stop there. She made people feel comfortable and seen, not only by validating their personhood or experience, but by giving them her attention and time.

Among many things, Linda loved dance, theatre, gardening, sightseeing, education, swimming (she may very well be a mermaid in her next life), being in nature, music, and Scrabble, all testaments to the life she lived and how she shared life with others. She believed in self-exploration and expression that helped people feel safe in her presence, yet affirmed in their own right.

Many knew Linda for her smile, warm nature, and mild temper. One thing about Mom is that she always had your back and put your best interests first. She believed in and embodied kindness in a way that is indescribable but felt. It was as much about trust as it was about nurturing, a true reflection of leading with love, support, and care.

Linda’s legacy lives on. Despite her battle with cancer and the grief that can come with living with it, in true Linda fashion, she always managed to make sure everyone around her was okay. She was a true testament to the possibilities of living harmoniously, of grace, and of fighting for what you believe in (and deserve). Linda wasn't always a woman of many words, but her presence spoke volumes.

Linda, Mom, will always be remembered and forever missed. And as with any day, the sun must always set, and it will always rise again.
