Linda and Greg met during college in Kirksville, MO and were married for 30 years. Linda was a dedicated nurse for 32 years. Linda and her husband Greg had three children and enjoyed raising them. Linda loved cheering her children on for all their school and sporting events. When the kids finished high school, Linda took up a new hobby with Greg and they learned to sail. From the moment they took their first sailboat ride at CSA, they were hooked. Linda and Greg enjoyed many weekends at Carlyle Lake building a community of friends from near and far.

Linda was a wonderful mother to her 3 children who are productive adults now- all we can hope for in life. So sad that Linda’s life was lost at such a young age. She was a devoted wife and mother who will be missed on this earth. Rest in peace with your soul mate, Greg.
Linda was a wonderful mother and friend. She didn’t know a stranger. Our families shared a lot of good times and have a lot of memories. I know you and Greg are reunited in heaven. Joe, Patrick and Vicki, you have two amazing guardian angels watching over you. May God wrap his arms around you as you go through this difficult time.
Rest in peace my dear friend.
Bob and Sharon we are so sad about Linda.

Linda was a devoted and loving wife to our son Greg. A devoted and loving mother to our 3 grandchildren Joseph, Patrick, and Victoria. Her life revolved around them all. She lived her life on her terms. Helping those who needed her. God bless you Linda. Peace and Love from Joe and I.
I worked with Linda and had occasional “South dinners” out with her. She had a such a wonderful, caring spirit and heart. She will be missed. My deepest condolences to all her family and friends.
On behalf of the Flying Scot Sailing Association, I would like to send our deepest condolences to her family and friends. Linda was so enthusiastic about Flying Scot sailing. She was a great example of someone who learned to skipper, continued to advance as a “take charge” individual, and took others along and out with her to get them confident in sailing and racing. All of us in the Midwest District especially will miss her. Nancy Claypool, Flying Scot Sailing Association President
Linda and Greg were such terrific people They will be extremely missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing them. Linda proved to be such a good force at CSA.
Linda will be missed, we can all follow Linda’s example and productively sail on.
Fair Weather and Good Wind to Greg and Linda in their new chapter. Sail Well.
I will truly miss her. She was a very good friend. London was fun to be with, and we shared our deep thoughts with each other.
I’m sorry my previous message. London is supposed to be Linda.
Dear Bob and Sharon, I’m so sorry for this great loss of you daughter Linda. You and your family are my thoughts and prayers. Love, Aunt Betty
Linda was a wonderful neighbor, great friend and my best buddy. She had a heart of gold and was always ready to help anyone in need. She will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her. I will always remember and treasure her and keep her memory in my heart! May Linda’s grieving family remember that she is now at peace in Heaven with Greg, the love of her life.
Our sincere condolences for your loss. We first met Linda and Greg when they traveled to Ephraim, WI for a regatta. What a stand-up couple. I then observed Linda’s beauty and strength, as she took on the helm, committed to keep sailing, and she made her mark, competing in the FS women’s championship and other regattas, traveling distances and backing up a trailer like a pro – a skill which she said came from driving a tractor. As committed as she was to sailing, it was obvious her family brought her great joy. May you find solace in knowing she is at peace, reunited with Greg and always in your heart. She will be missed.
Gary and I were so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. Our love and prayers are with you all.
Linda was a very special person. My first wife, Laslie who died of asthma in 2002, met Linda on an asthma support group on the internet. They came to visit us in Alabama in 2001. Linda & Greg and Laslie & I became very close friends. After Laslie’s passing in 2002, Linda and Greg stayed in contact with me and were a great support to me in my time of grief. After I remarried in 2009, they met and also became friends with my new wife Beth. We will always hold a special place in our heart for Linda and Greg.
Linda was an amazing second mom to Kim and myself. She helped mend us into the people we have become. Your family has helped us evolve our lives. Greg is the reason I am in the career that I am doing I am so sorry for your loss. My love and prayers are with you. Linda will be so missed. I know Linda and Greg are having a great time sailing in heaven. I love you all!
Pat, I’m so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Linda was a warm and giving person whose love of sailing was so generously shared. We will miss her deeply as Carlyle Sailing Association. May we all live by her example. Joseph, Patrick andVictoria – you have been blessed with such wonderful parents. May you feel our love knowing how many people their lives blessed.
So sorry to hear of Linda’s passing and your entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers!
Greg and Linda were both amazing and kind people! When I went through my divorce several years ago, they invited me and my boys to share Thanksgiving with them! It was such a good time and was great therapy for me at that time. So, I am sure it was for my boys, as well!
Please know, people that are like Greg and Linda, showed the love of Christ in their actions and daily lives. Our world certainly can use that these days!
With deepest sympathy,
Patrick Kunz
