Obituary

Baux, Linda Jean (nee McGill) passed away on Thursday, September 11, 2025 in her 76th year with family by her side at Chapman House in Owen Sound, ON. Dedicated wife to the late William “Bill” Baux (July 2025). Dear mother to Christy Gibner (John) and a very proud and devoted grandmother to Kelsey and Donald. Dear sister to Diane McGill whose constant care allowed Linda to remain in her home as long as possible. She is predeceased by her parents Clarence & Dorothy McGill, her brother Lyle McGill & her infant son Charles.

Linda was an exemplary teacher who dedicated her career to assisting students and supporting scores of colleagues and families throughout her long career. She particularly excelled at helping students catch up with their expected grade level within the year she taught them. She always made sure there was something to eat in her classroom, for anyone who was hungry, long before there was a Breakfast Club as she believed that children couldn’t learn if they were hungry.

A private family service will be held graveside and interment of ashes will be at Chesley Cemetery where she will join her parents and brother.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Chapman House, The Cancer Society, to your local Breakfast Clubs but especially Grey Bruce, or the Port Elgin United Church.
