In Loving Memory of

Linda Modest

Our Moody’s family mourns the passing of our colleague and friend Linda who passed away on February 21st following a brave battle with a long term illness. As a Facilities Specialist, Linda was a well-known and friendly face in our Canary Wharf Office (and Minster Court before then).  She was passionate about her job which involved helping many colleagues whether that be through meeting them as new joiners during day one orientation, or assisting existing employees with their health and safety needs.  She will be remembered for her care and kindness, and she will be dearly missed.

Please share your memories of Linda which can provide comforting messages for colleagues, friends and family.

To Linda – my dearest friend Not a day has gone by since you got your angel wings that I don’t think of you and Tassia. You were the first face I saw when I came for an interview back in September 2003 at Minster Court and from that moment we immediately hit it off – I was so happy when I got the job and from my first day you were there to greet me with your beautiful smile, kindness and help – not to mention your wicked sense of humour. You’re laughter always brought a smile to my face and couldn’t help but laugh too! I remember all the Christmas parties where you were one of the first on and last off the dance floor, our lovely lunches at The Crutched Friar not to mention the epic leaving dos we attended there. All the birthday celebrations, you would always be the person to bring the balloons and decorations, and the pot luck lunch we used to do at Canary Wharf around Thanks Giving and you would bring St. Lucian fried fish. I’m glad I was fortunate enough to visit you back in December 2022 and with all…

As with everyone else, I was extremely saddend to hear of Linda’s passing. For my first couple of years with Moody’s, Linda was my “first port of call”, or go to “font of all knowledge” for a range of London related topics. These were always met with an every friendly demeanour (and contagious enthusiasm), regardless if it was a Health and Safety matter, who did I need to email and annoy to get x,y or z, and even one time, to ask her to go downstairs to collect one of the numpties from the Edinburgh office who had forgotten to book in their visit with Canary Wharf security and needed to get upstairs urgently for a client meeting (Linda to the rescue on that one). Our Health and Safety chats would often deviate from the intended purpose, and by the time we had brought ourselves back on track, the world had been put bang to rights!!   My condolences to all of Linda’s family and friends (who I heard a great many stories about). She will be missed. …

Dear Linda’s family and friends, Sending my deepest condolences to you all, words cannot express my sadness at Linda’s passing. Linda was the most, kind caring lady I have ever met, who’s smile lit up a room. I still remember meeting Linda on my very first day at Moody’s, all those years ago. Linda made me feel so welcome with her kindness, and she was such a bubbly warm person to be around. Honestly, Linda had a heart of gold and would help anyone and everyone she could, I will miss our chats loads. Linda was an amazing person and a true inspiration to us all. I will never forget you Linda, my dear friend. Thinking of you all and sending my deepest condolences, especially to Tassia, Linda’s daughter. Rest in peace angel. With all my love Lindsey Shorey xx…

I am so very sorry at the news of Linda’s passing. Linda was the first person i met at Moody’s and that warm, welcoming smile was a great first interaction for me with the company, as well as the chocolate buscuits she offered a nervous candidate to settle his nerves! Linda with me was always a smiling, engaging individual, that always checked on our well-being, always had a nice word to say, and always looked for the best. Seeing her in the corridor and having a chit chat on any topic always put a smile on my face. I also recall very well Linda, spending that extra time to look after my (then) young kids and baby when they came into the Childrens party and i needed to get on a work call. She made their day.  Linda was a special individual and she will sorely be missed by so many people. With my thoughts and prayers! Neal …

Linda was one of the first faces I saw when joining Moody’s back at Minster Court, she made me feel instantly at ease. No matter what was happening she was always there with a smile and a story. I enjoyed many conversations hearing about her life and wonderful family. A person full of life which has gone too soon. RIP Linda you will be greatly missed xxx…

I was saddened to hear of the news of Linda’s passing at such an early age.   In the time I worked with her I always found her to be a kind and caring person.  I hope Tassia will take comfort in the knowledge that her mother was a good Christian and a truly decent person.  May she rest in peace.    …

I was very sad to hear the news of Linda passing. Linda was the one of the first people I met at Moody’s back in Minster Court, and used to sit right by our office so I had the pleasure of getting to know her. She was genuinely one of the nicest and funniest people I have been lucky enough to meet, she always had time for you and many of my best memories at Moody’s involved sharing time with Linda both inside and outside of work.   My deepest condolences go out to your family at this time. May you rest in peace Linda. xx…

Dear Linda, I am so sad to learn that you have passed. You were always such a ray of sunshine in the office and just lovely to have around.  Your consistent positivity and happy nature was infections and I will forever treasure that.  I will also never forget all that you did to have a Mothering room set up in the office when I returned from my first maternity leave; that was all down to you and I will be forever grateful. Thank you for always doing what you could to make working in the office comfortable for me and for all those I worked with.  Sending all the love in the world to your family – you will be so missed xxx…

I was so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing.  Like so many people at Moody’s I remember meeting Linda when I first joined Moody’s over 20 years ago – she was always the cheerful up-beat person who was always fun to chat to. Linda really embraced the additional responsibilities that she took on over the years and she will be remembered for always being professional and kind. We all sorely miss her … Linda was the type of person that Moody’s a special place to work. My thoughts and best wishes to her daughter and family in these difficult times. Best Annabel…
