Linda Elizabeth Arnold was born in Rochester, NY & lived in Saint Lucie Village, FL for 45 years. She graduated from the State University of New York Brockport with a degree in Business & Accounting. She married her High School sweetheart Tom Dickens of Spencerport, NY and they were married for 53 adventure filled years. Her career was spent in the automotive industry as an office manager until retiring.
Linda passed away on Sunday August 11th, 2024. While sudden and unexpected, she was surrounded by her friends and family, just as she was in life.
She is survived by her Husband Tom Dickens of Saint Lucie Village, FL, her son Tim Dickens and his wife Valerie Dickens of Palm Bay, FL, her daughter Katie Duelz and her husband Christian Duelz of Port St. Lucie, FL, her Grandsons Victor & Jayce Duelz, and her Godson Bradley Schorner of Saint Lucie Village, FL. She is also survived by her siblings Clayton H. Arnold, Diane Carlberg, Debbie Duval, and Karen Randolph all of Rochester, NY. She is predeceased by her Mother and Father Bernice and Clayton F. Arnold of Fort Pierce, FL.
She was an adoring Wife, Mother and Grandmother but especially devoted to her grandsons who were truly her favorites. She was a friend to all and joyously hosted anybody who walked into her home. She was most passionate about raising and showing Bichon Frise dogs, and was very accomplished, having won many local, State, National and International awards. She loved always being outdoors, was an avid gardener, and enjoyed time spent at her home away from home, River Ranch, Florida, or out on the water boating. Her love and support will be monumentally missed.
We invite all who loved her or enjoyed her friendship to a gathering of friends and family to be held on Saturday, August 24, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Aycock Funeral Home, 6026 North US Highway 1, Fort Pierce, FL 34946.
