Linda Josephine Wheeldon (née Inglima), age 74, passed November 11, 2022, just before 1 p.m. at her home in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. She was an early supporter of differentiated and arts-based learning, the power of music, and the role of empathy, which are now philosophical pillars among contemporary educators. She was secure in her belief that unconditional love for others was the only way through difficult moments. She served as president of the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists and as a national director for the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. She wrote a book with Michelle Forrest on feminist pedagogy in teacher education and taught for decades at Acadia, as well as at Mount St Vincent, UPEI, and Cape Breton University. Her passion for strong therapeutic practices influenced generations of teachers, therapists, students, and clients. She was devoted to the idea that while together we are better, perfection is an illusion.
