Linda was born on August 30, 1959, in Alexandria, Louisiana to Salem Fathi Sayegh and Myrl Ann Jagot. She was a successful businesswoman as the Co-owner and Operator of Salon 701 in New Orleans and a talented cosmetologist, who loved to help others feel beautiful. She loved gardening and was an avid reader. A real New Orleans lady, Linda was a huge LSU fan and a diehard Saints fan!
She is preceded in death by her father; and her beloved husband of 9 years, Peter David Oliver. Linda is survived by her mother; her brother David Salem Sayegh; her sister Lisa Sayegh; her adored cat, Sophia; her many cousins here and abroad; as well as numerous other loving family and friends.
To her family, Linda was the glue that bound us. She loved to bring the family together. Whether it was over good food, celebrating a holiday or just a random day of the week - to Linda it didn’t matter, as long as we were all together.
Linda was a true friend who had an endearing way about her.
Thanks to the LA Hospice and Palliative Care and Passages Hospice care teams. Special thanks to Linda’s private caretakers, Wanda Duckworth, Annie Bishop, Eugenia Dauphin, and Linda Duckworth.
Services will be private.
Linda was the exemplar of courage and strength as she battled a difficult cancer. She contributed to science by her brave decision to participate in two experimental trials.
She will be sorely missed by so many.
