We graduated from Hampton Community High School together. I talked with her at our 50th class reunion.  I will miss not seeing her at the next class reunion.    Best regards to Linda's family.

Great person, friends in high school. Gary Moore

Linda was well known and respected at IMMC and her presence was missed when she left the hospital. Thinking of her family and friends at this time. Another leader graduate of IMSN.

I will always think of Linda in her basketball uniform with knee pads! My sympathies to her family and friends.

So sorry to learn about Linda's passing! I was one of her classmates both at Hansell and Hampton and shared many memories over the years. Our Class of 1965 has lost another good person!

Linda was such an asset to Iowa Methodist. As a young social worker, she was so respectful and helpful to me. She touched many.

Marv, Jeff & Shelby, Our sincere condolences to you.  We lived 3 doors down from you on 61st Street many years ago. I remember when Linda came into your lives and what a blessing  and wonderful addition she was to the family.    She was so sweet, kind and always had a beautiful smile.   May all the many wonderful memories of her give you comfort.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you. 
God Bless....Toni & Vince DeAngelis

Oh my...look at that grin! I was so blessed to know Linda at UnityPoint Health and thru DMACC. She always had a HUG and a Smile...RIP dear friend!
God bless your marvelous family and hold them close in their time of sorrow!

I am so very sorry to hear of Linda's death & you have my sincere sympathy. I was blessed to know her at the hospital; she was always helpful, kind, positive and wise. She took the time to make others feel valued. Her sweet smile and laugh will not be forgotten.

Heaven received another nursing angel. No words to describe the loss of such a beautiful person; her smile says it all.  Linda was one of the most heart warming, caring, smart and dedicated nurses that I have ever had the privilege to work for. I am so sorry for your loss, may God wrap his arms around all of her family giving them strength in this time of grief.
  God Bless her family.

Shelby-
Thinking of you and your family. Mom's are truly special people. Keep those great memories close to your heart. We will keep you in our prayers.

My Dear Marvin,
My heart is heavy with the news of Linda's passing.  How I wish I could be there to offer you comfort.  Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Your loving cousin,  Jeanie Nelson

Thinking of you, Shelby, and your family. Your mom sounds like such a wonderful person. You certainly share some of those traits. Blessings to you.

The world has lost a great nurse. Linda was my boss, my mentor, my champion. Brains, heart and soul came together in her for family, friends and patients. I will never forget her laughter and hugs.Tracy Shaw

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort as you are together in celebrating such a wonderful life.  My husband, Ken, and I are recent neighbors so will keep a close eye across the street to Marvin.  Take care and God bless you all!  Please let us know if we can do anything for your family.

So sorry to hear about Linda!  She was a colleague of mine and I greatly appreciated her intuition and wisdom.  My prayers to her family.

Marv,  So sorry to read of the passing of your wife.  I wish the best in these difficult times.  God bless

Linda was a friend and colleague at IMMC. My favorite memory of her is the day after she saw 'Mamma Mia' at the Civic Center. She sang and danced those songs all week! I'll watch the DVD and sing along in her honor this evening.

Rest in Peace Auntie!  She was an amazing and beautiful person.

This is so devastating to hear. Linda hired me when I was 19 years old and thanks to her, I am still an employee in the same department she hired me in. She was one of the best managers I have ever had. She always talked about her kids and the grandkids. She will be missed by many!

Linda was my 3-11 supervisor and then nurse manager. She always had a smile and hug for everyone. She will truly be missed. RIP Linda. Jan White
