Linda was born on February 17, 1958 in Pennsylvania. She was preceded in death by her parents, N. Bernard Aspinwall and Gloria Bonucci; sister, Laura Johnson; and her loving husband of 44 years, James Manack Jr.. Linda is survived by her three daughters, Nicole Dale, Natalie Noll, and Carrie (Alan) Pitts. She also leaves behind five beloved grandchildren: AJ, Maya, Tysen, Mia, and Brecken; and two dogs, Dovey and Lou.
Linda resided in Pennsylvania until 2004, when she and Jim moved to Colorado to be near their children and grandchildren. Linda was a loving mother and grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Linda had a great sense of humor and she enjoyed sharing her antics with others. She was always down for a laugh. Linda was a kind soul who would do anything for those she loved and gave freely to anyone in need. She was an ally to all and had little tolerance to those who weren’t. She loved the outdoors, hiking and exploring with her friends, as well as bird watching and trying to get anything to grow in the Colorado mountains. Her job as an Activities Assistant allowed her to share her creativity and ability to make everyone feel loved. She carried on Jim’s legacy by volunteering her time helping the local animal shelter. When relaxing, she enjoyed reading, building puzzles, and watching everything from Dr. Phil to Key & Peele.
Interestingly, she was not a fan of penguins, koala bears, or cartoon dolphins.
You will be missed, Lindy Sue.
