Linda Doell
April 1, 1951 – November 6, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Linda Doell from our midst on November 6th, 2025, at RUH in Saskatoon with her family by her side. Linda was born on April 1st, 1951, at Saskatoon City Hospital, the daughter of Katherine & John P. Doell. She spent the first 8 years of her life in Saskatoon and then moved to Warman with her parents, where she continued her schooling and grew into adulthood.
Her life journey took her to Kamloops, Hinton, Melfort, and then back to Warman. She was the proud mother of three sons and two steps sons, whose hearty appetites helped her hone her cooking and baking skills. They taught her about the pros and cons of doing homework, with many trips to the school and attending countless sporting events. She was a courageous and loving mother to them all.
In 1981, she decided to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a nurse. She returned to school as a mature adult, becoming an RN, and serving her patients with care and compassion in the three Saskatoon Hospitals. Then the opportunity arose for her to teach in the nursing program. She brought her passion for learning and a love for people to her students, inspiring them to be the best nurses that they could be.
Linda experienced a great deal of loss in her life, including her health, which she learned to tackle with the grace of God and her resilient spirit. She credited her patients in the hospital, whose tenacity she admired as they taught her so many life lessons. They showed her how to persevere in life’s challenges with courage, strength, and a positive attitude. Linda, in turn, sought to be a positive role model for her students and the people that she cared for when facing those challenges.
She did her best to rise above her limitations, approaching life with an infectious smile and unwavering kindness. Despite her health challenges, she continued to pursue her love of photography, hobbies, and quilt making. Her love for people extended to her animals, especially the many schnauzers that filled her home with affection over the years.
Linda loved family gatherings and any opportunity to visit and eat together. Her faith in God helped to sustain and nurture her through all of life’s challenges.
Linda was predeceased by her grandparents, her parents Katherine & John P. Doell, stepmom Tena Doell, brother Murray, sister Mary, son Kimball, niece Brittney Fehr, niece Stacy Myrol, nephews Scott & Spencer Cox.
She is survived by her sons Michael Regier (Kristy Cooper), Alex (Sarah) Doell, stepsons Mike Jodoin (Jean Anne Fraser), Rob Jodoin, daughter-in-law Dianne Laidlaw-Regier, grandchildren Brandon Regier, Alycia Regier (Terrence Cunanan), Michelle Jodoin, and Mathieu Jodoin. Linda’s siblings: Adeline (Doug) Cox, Leonard (Tina) Doell, Heather (Gord) Wall, Howard (Robi) Doell, Shelley (Lawrence) Fehr, Vernon (Selena) Doell, Lyle Doell, Don Doell, Greg (Holly) Doell, Lisa (Martin) Harder, many nieces and nephews, and the extended Olfert family.
We want to acknowledge everyone whose lives have been touched by Linda’s spirit and rest-assured knowing her impact and love will never be forgotten.
A Memorial Service will be held at Osler Mennonite Church, Osler, SK on Saturday, November 15, 2025 at 1:00 pm.

I remember Linda from my time as a nursing student. She was kind and had an infectious smile.
Linda was a beautiful person inside and out!!….I will always remember how kind and thoughtful she was as a nurse to my mom and dad when mom was approaching life’s end here on earth!!
My heartfelt sympathy to everyone near and dear to Linda. She was one of our large family’s most well-loved members. She knew everyone, kept us in touch with others, took pictures of us, celebrated and grieved with us. Her kindnesses, encouragements, and generosities were unsurpassed. She will be sadly missed.
Our most heartfelt condolences to all of Linda’s family! ❤️
I’m so very sorry for your loss.Linda was an absolute gem .Her kindness and compassion were next to none. We moved to Warman 20 plus years ago and then moved back to Saskatoon.So I got to know Linda in my years of living there. She always had a smile on her face and always talked.Later on I would meet her in the hospital and nursing home settings.If someone needed or if you needed someone to talk to you she was the one.Rest in peace. You have earned your Angel wings.❤️❤️
I spent a lot of time with Linda this year as my Wife and her childhood companion Elva was dying, She had plenty of her own problems but insisted on being with Elva as much as possible. In the Hospice she would tell hold her hand touch her face and whisper jokes and memories for hours on end. This went on for months. Her persistence to exist was unbelievable. She laughed a lot and I will miss Linda.
So sorry to hear of Linda’s passing . When I was in nursing school , she substituted for the instructor for most of the semester. She was an awesome instructor . My deepest sympathies are sent for all of her family .
Sending my deepest sympathies to the Doell family on the loss of of your loved one. She is now at peace.
We are sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. We always enjoyed seeing her great smile and of course her camera at so many of the Les Bergen get-togethers. She will be sadly missed.
Rhonda sent us the news of your loss and the obituary of your sister, Linda. Bought back so many memories from many years ago and the several connections we had with your family. Now you gather for another funeral. Our minds will be with you as we picture you together at the OMC. We grieve with you. Ernie and Judy.
Sicere condolences to Linda’s entire family and circle of friends. May the Good Lord wrap His loving arms around each of you and give you peace. May all your good memories bring warmth to yor heart.

My condolences to Linda’s family and friends. Linda was my nursing instructor for a practicum around 2004. Just last week while decluttering, I found a photo album and personalized note that she had given me upon completing the practicum. She was a lovely human and had a great impact on my nursing education.
