Passed away peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at St Peter’s Hospital in Hamilton at the age of 79.

Linda was predeceased by her beloved husband, Walter Kohlberger, much loved son, Robert Grant Scott, dear brother, Larry Colin Grant and both her parents, Marjorie Grant Taylor and Erland Grant.

Linda was the cherished Grandma to grandson Ronan Scott Cara. She was also loved by the five Kohlberger grandchildren, Morgan, Giovanni, Maria Sofia, Zoe and Isla.

Linda began her career as an elementary school teacher and principal with the Hamilton Board of Education.  After earning her Doctorate in Education, she worked as an executive assistant for the Ontario Public School Teachers' Federation. There, Linda developed the 'Supervisory Officers' Qualification Program' and created many publications for teachers, vice-principals, principals and the general public. Linda continued her career with the Ontario College of Teachers as Director of Professional Standards.  

Many provinces across Canada benefited greatly from her ground breaking work. She had a significant impact on education while working at both the Ontario Public School Teachers’ Federation and the Ontario College of Teachers. Linda will be remembered as an educator who left her profession much better off than when she entered it.

She will be fondly remembered by her extended family, friends and colleagues.

Special thanks to the dedicated staff at St. Peter’s Hospital who ensured that Linda died with dignity and compassion. The family invites friends and relatives to attend a Celebration of Life on Friday, April 10 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Donald V. Brown Funeral Home, 36 Lake Avenue Drive, Stoney Creek.
