I still remember Linda as a wonderful friend and sister in PEO. She welcomed us into her beautiful home for meetings and socializing. I will always cherish my memories of her. We went on an outing together to Medina to shop and visit a tearoom there. When i think of the spirit that PEO embodies, i think of Linda.

Dear Linda, it’s been several months since your passing, and many years since leaving the Canton area, but I miss you very much, dear Sister. You were a treasured member of CX, and a joy to know. A congenial hostess and active participant in the mission to help women in need of student financial aid. I will always be grateful to have known you.
Love, love,
Beth Selinsky Chapter CX, P.E.O.
