Linda Streck Obituary
Linda passed away on January 29, 2025 after a long period of illness. She was surrounded by her daughter, granddaughter, and a dear family friend at the time of her passing.
Born on May 16, 1946, in New York to Cecilia and William Streck, Linda grew up in a loving family. She attended Saint Joseph's Academy in Albany, where she was crowned homecoming queen and formed lasting friendships.
A longtime resident of Georgia, Linda had a deep appreciation for the outdoors. Before her illness, she found joy in gardening, cooking, and exploring various arts and crafts.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents; her sisters Peggy and Susan; and her nephew Mark.
She is survived by her devoted daughter and caregiver Kimberly Brunet; her beloved grandchildren Samantha (Jared) Penny and TJ (Meaghan) Gelarden; and her cherished great-grandchildren Collin, Addison, Benjamin, Elliot, and Caleb. Linda also leaves behind her brothers Bill Streck and Michael (Mary Jane) Streck, as well as numerous nieces and nephews who will remember her fondly.
A celebration of Linda's life will be held at a later date.

Aunt Linda faced many challenges in life, always with grace and resilience, and in turn teaching me to do the same. She was a blend of Aunt, second mother, friend, confident and mentor. Her kindness and warmth touched many, her laughter and stories will forever echo in my heart. She was there when I needed her most. Taught me things no one else could, stood by me when no one else did. She had a remarkable way of making me feel loved, cherished, heard and important. I will carry all her lessons of life with me always.
