Thoughts and prayers are with the Deines family at this time.  I remember your mom from Cedar St school  PTA.  Our moms did a lot of rummage sales and school events together.  I also remember when you were able to go to Nebraska over vacation and we all thought that you had gone halfway around the world.  Your mother sure did have a lot of energy.  Many great memories.

My Aunt Linda was a wonderful lady. I remember growing up and visiting Michigan during the summers where Aunt Linda & Uncle Harold would always welcome the entire extended family for picnics at the house in DeWitt. All the cousins would play softball in the backyard. Aunt Linda was like one of the kids. She had great energy and was fun to be around. She always wanted to know what you were up to and was never afraid to tell you what she thought. I loved her for that.  God Bless you Aunt Linda.

We've known Mrs. Deines since we were little kids.  Your mom and dad were friends of our parents and always on hand for the "pool parties".  Mrs. Deines always had a smile for everyone.  I (Linda) am so glad that I had such a pleasant visit with her at Mr. Wilcox's visitation.  Such a great lady.  Linda, Ann and Pat

Thoughts prayers & hugs to all the family at this sad time. Was a neighbor since 1966,so have known Linda for a longtime.  May you rest in peace.

I will missing visiting with Olinda at the Dewitt Garden Club. I will remember her beautifull smile and kind words and her gardening tips. My Thoughts and prayer are with the family. Peace.

Our prayers go out to your family. Mrs. Deines was always a wonderful smiling face on Sunday morning when we attended church at Hope Lutheran.  I missed and thought of her often, when I moved away, and it always brought a smile to my face.  I always loved hearing of her adventures.  God Bless.

The world is enriched by Linda and her entire family. Anyone who ever met Linda will never forget her. A special lady in many ways. She now has the well earned peace of Christ.

Your mother was my school bus driver for many years.  My year books picture her wearing a scarf and huge, chic sunglasses. 
She was a friend to me in later years as a DeWitt Millennium Garden Club member where she was a Charter Member and was later given a "Lifetime Member" award.
She always had a smile and always had a story for me about her family that she loved so much.

Thinking of you, Dave and I both have so many great memories of your mom.  She was a great lady and will be missed sending you our thoughts and prayers.

I will always have good memories of Mrs. Deines, as a child she was my school bus driver for many years and then when I bought a house she was a neighbor.  She was always upbeat and smiling and had a great story to share as she would walk around the neighborhood with her dog Holly.  To Steve and family I am sorry for your loss, but know you have an angel watching over you.  She will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  The staff from the DeWitt Pharmacy - Patty, Kim, Desiree, Camille, Lucille and Joan.

My mother Elsie shared a room at Sparrow last month.  She and Olinda became close friends after they discovered all their shared Lutheran history.  Olinda's humor made my mothers stay so much easier.   I thank the Lord He chose to have her touch our lives.

My deepest condolences to the family of a wonderful person and wonderful next door neighbor growing up.  We will miss Linda tremendously.

I shall miss seeing Linda`s smiling face around DeWitt. May God bless her family and give them the peace of Jesus, as they heal and seek comfort in this time of loss. Love, Susie Grinold Huebshman

We will miss your happy smiling face, you are one of a kind.  May you rest in peace.
