Linda Bloom Obituary
Linda Frances Bloom (Bloomie) twirled away into the stars on July 7, 2017 and joins her beloved parents Lenny and Rosie Bloom. Born in 1948, Linda grew up in San Francisco, but made Phoenix home for more than 40 years. Our own "atomic burst of joy", Linda swept into our hearts as teacher, painter, photographer, ceramic artist, knitter, "laughing lady", generous friend, proud "gym rat", and cancer warrior. She was a shy philanthropist who gave anonymously to many causes. She had a special love for children and Israel.Bloomie remained undaunted in her quest to conquer her cancer. She was ever grateful for the medical professionals who cared for her on her journey. She built an extensive family of friends, and died with dear ones by her side. We will miss our upbeat, hopeful, sunny, courageous "Wonder Woman of the Spirit" who lived each day to the max. To honor Linda's memory, please make a donation to a cancer charity of your choice.

It has been years since I left Arizona, but I have thought of you often. You were filled to the brim with talent, kindness and energy! You made a difference in so many lives even with your effervescent smile!! I found out from Jan Tuckerman, Nancy Sher's sister-in-law. I was very sad to hear you faced challenging times up to the last moment. Thank you for being in my life for a few brief, but meaningful moments! You taught me many life lessons.

I taught at Copperwood with Linda and am so sorry to hear of her early passing.
Yes...Linda always smiled, had a positive outlook, and drove her PT Cruiser with pride.
Having retired from Peoria School District in 2004 and having moved to the east side of town, I have not seen many of our former friends from Copperwood, but we were quite a crew and genuinely cared about each other.
I will make in contribution in Linda's memory, and may the family know that her teaching and smile made a difference.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Mayo

Linda, I owe you so much. You stood by me through thick and thin. Thank you so much for all you did for me! Your kindness and affection was and will never be forgotten. The joy you spread with your whimsey will never be forgotten. You will surely be missed by those you were close to you. You were such a big part of my life and even though the years have long sent us on our separate ways, I know your path ended with you being with God. Those who were close, I send my deepest sympathy. She was a radiant rose!

To the Bloom Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
