Linda’s caring spirit will be missed by family, friends, and former coworkers. Offering prayers for comfort for all that knew and loved her.
You were so loved by your family and friends. You will be missed for sure ❤️
Linda was my ukulele buddy and I will miss her dearly!
I had the pleasure of her company a few days before her departure. It was a bittersweet experience as we enjoyed talking about the past. Her condition brought tears to my eyes as she was so weak and really couldn’t do anything. I take pleasure in knowing that she no longer is suffering and is with loved ones, especially Steve Batt. Love you Linda. Your in good hands now.
I’m so sorry for the family’s loss but I’m glad Linda isn’t suffering any longer and is reunited with loved ones. We didn’t get to see each other as children but I enjoyed connecting as adults when she helped celebrate mom’s (Aunt Mary) birthdays and her life in 2022. It meant so much for her to travel to Dallas for mom’s memorial service. Praying for God’s peace for the family.
Although her stay with my staff and I was brief. She had a sweet nature.
After 25 years of service to Whittier Elementary School, Linda then substituted for several years. During that time, my mother passed away on Easter Sunday. Linda was ‘holiday tired’ but she agreed to sub the next day. I will always be grateful for her willingness to have helped me out. She was a gal that enjoyed good times as seen by her presence at most of our celebrations such as retirements, showers, etc. Linda was a true and loyal friend.
Your mom was so special to me. She helped me mature and trained me well. Thank you for her and the great memories your family to gave to our family. Love and prayers are with all of you. love jeri jean and richard donaldson
