Linda was an extraordinarily important contributor to the Gaithersburg Rotary Club. I remember how impressed I was with her connections to the City of Gaithersburg and all of her volunteer activities. Linda supported me during my years on the Rotary club board, always giving good advice, and I was proud of the work she did as Club President. She was a champion of the high school Interact program and welcomed us into her home on numerous occasions. I marveled at her ability to run marathons!...

The Wolff family is so sorry to hear about the passing of Linda. When Diedrich and Fran were in Troop 291, we occasionally met Linda at events and she always welcomed us with a smile and laughing spirit. Our thoughts and prayers are with John, Jeremy and Heather. Again accept our deepest sympathy.

I first met Linda before Heather and Jeremy were on the scene, and it was my pleasure to see her put into raising a family the same sense of loving involvement that characterized her engagement with life writ large. She brought her cheerful outlook to everything she did, she accomplished much, and she left everyone she touched the better for it.

Linda was an inspiration to all who knew her. I first met Linda 25+years ago at Rockville Co-op Nursery School when we were both on the Board.Her love of family and strong sense of community spirit was evident from the start. She has positively impacted the lives of so many as have you John Hanson. How lucky we have been to know the Hanson family and how lucky you were to have Linda as your own!
