She leaves behind her brother Bob (Judy) Wanamaker and many beloved nieces and nephews who brought her great joy. She is also especially loved and admired by many cousins of multiple generations.Linda was a beautiful soul. She loved a good Pepsi and worked for Pepsico throughout much of her career. She bravely battled hardship in her life, including the death of her father during her childhood and the death of her twin sister, Susie, due to a brain tumor in 1995. Susie was her beloved companion and best friend. Linda was witty and kept up to date with current events. She enjoyed the simple things in life like a game of bridge, a good laugh, going out to dinner with family and trips down south. Every morning she walked despite significant physical challenges and she listened to Fr. Dan Schlegel's online mass. She was a passionate fan of the Cleveland Guardians, sometimes too nervous to actually watch the game. Her Catholic faith was a source of comfort and courage throughout the ups and downs of life. She will be dearly missed.
