We were really sad to hear of Linda’s passing. We so enjoyed being members along with her at Berean Baptist Church in New Castle, DE. We’ll miss the fellowship we had with her there. One thing for sure is that she trusted the Lord as her Savior and we will see her again in Heaven. We are keeping Linda’s family in our prayers. We know this is not easy for you.

So sorry to hear about Linda’s passing.
She was my stepmother in my much younger years. Always hugs and kisses for me even though I was a step. Seemed to be a happy person always smiling and smelling good.
I remember that she was an avid Avon representative. Spending time at thier house in Middletown riding my dirt bike and playing with Tammy.
Linda was always very nice to me.
May you rest in peace ♥️

As a member of Berean Baptist Church, I always enjoyed chatting with Linda. She made a point of hugging my mom every time she saw her.
