Linda K. Kekic

The Hofstra family, lifelong friends of Bruce, Gladys, Eunice, Pamela and Linda, are broken hearted to find that Linda is no longer with us. I am Rodger A. Hofstra. I remember the House family with great admiration, love and respect for their kindness, intellect, friendship and all the attention and good times that both our familes shared, over a lifetime. Bruce and Gladys House were my parents', Merton and Kathleen Hofstra's best friends. No one had more integrity, patience and...

So sorry for your loss. Linda was a fantastic instructor, artist and colleague. Always the first to encourage her students. Such a loss to the Kalamazoo art community.

I am so sorry for your loss. I just heard about Linda's passing. I was blessed to grow up having Linda as a friend. She was always kind, caring, and giving. I remember David as a baby and as a toddler and we laughed together when he went wading in the neighbors kiddie pool with his shoes on. I remember sleeping out in her parents backyard for one of her birthdays and getting rained out. She looked at life with great joy and enthusiasm. I always looked for her at the art show to visit and see...

Linda was a wonderful presence to the arts community in Kalamazoo and will be missed by many. Sending thoughts and prayers to Nick and all her family

I met Linda in the basement of the KIA in what was my first beginners jewelry class. Over the next several years Linda taught me so much about turning sheet metals into beautiful hand built jewelry. We became friends over the years and that is truly what I am going to miss, her sweetness, kindness and positivity. May you be resting in peace dear Linda

I met Linda when we both worked in volunteer management. She has also been my favorite local artist for the last many years. We shared many stories and life experiences. She made an impact on this community and will be missed. RIP Linda!

We were saddened to hear of Linda's passing. She was a lovely friend and amazing artist who will be greatly missed.

Let me join that host of other friends who mourn Linda´s passing and give thanks to God for her life. I began my walk with Linda in Kindergarten at Bunker and continued thru graduation with her in June of 1967 at MHS. We all share John Usmial´s sentiments of her importance for our lives. God´s peace surround us as it does her now.

In loving memory of Linda K. Kekic, A wonderful artist, caring friend and loving mother. A life well lived. Peace, Prayers and Blessings.
