Linda Cornette Obituary
Linda touched the lives of many through her passion for educating young people and advocating for intellectual freedom. She retired from education after many years as a teacher and librarian at Hamilton Local Schools and Dublin City Schools.
Although she was a proud and committed educator, her true legacy is her fierce devotion to her family.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Haskell and Edith Crum; her parents-in-law, Icle and Luther Cornette; grandson Paul Burke; and nephew Andy Delong.
Left to cherish her memory are her high school sweetheart and husband of 60 years, John Cornette; daughters Jacqueline (John) Burke and Johnna (Jake) Cornette-Parker; grandchildren Erica Sewell, John Burke, and Julia Burke; great-grandchildren Jian, Maci, Jack, and Addison. She is also survived by sister Arbeata Slone and cousin Brenda Andrix --both of whom of whom provided invaluable care and support during her illness; brother Darrell Crum; sister Jackie Moore; and many other cherished family members and friends.
To honor Linda's memory, please consider a donation to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com.
