Linda Marilyn Newman, age 73, died peacefully in her sleep on October 16 at her final home, Hampton Court Nursing Home in Miami, Florida. Born in Brookline, Massachusetts, Linda was a “snow bird” for many years between Brookline and Hollywood, Florida.
She was the beloved daughter of Minnie and Barney Newman; granddaughter of Rebecca and Hyman Kaplan; sister of Morton and Barry Newman; cousin to Stanley and Harvey Segall, and Jerry and Howard Harmatz; aunt to Judy, Emily, Mark, Jeffrey and Paul Newman; and beloved friend and companion to Draga Nan and Mina Milos.
Affectionately known as “Old Sport”, Linda embodied the importance of a close knit and loving family. Linda will be buried next to her parents at Sharon Memorial Park on Friday November 8.
