Linda Redgrave Obituary

Linda Ann Redgrave, 67, took her last breath this New Years Day, January 1, 2024, in the comfort of her home and husband by her side.Linda was born on July 10, 1956, in Oakland, CA. She and her brothers, Michael and Robert Dunn, were raised by Joan and William in San Leandro, CA. She attended Marina High School and later Chabot College. She attended Bryman College where she got her Medical Assistant certification. She spent her 40-year career as a Medical Assistant at San Jose Medical and Palo Alto Medical Foundation in Dermatology. She was invaluable to those she worked with and supported. She would always go the extra mile for her patients. During her sons' school years, she was always there to help teachers make their educational experiences very special.She met her husband, Thomas Redgrave, while accompanying her friend and soon-to-be sister-in-law, Cindy Redgrave, to pick him up at the airport. She loved to travel whenever she could and went on many trips together through the years, taking sons Christopher and Kevin Redgrave across the continent and the Atlantic. She took delight in many trips with family and friends as well. Her favorite places to visit were Hawaii and Europe.Linda had a green thumb which proved a bountiful pastime that flourished as she entered retirement. She was in her element when she had her little helper and granddaughter, Aurora Redgrave's, company while pruning and watering.She cared for all pets, but her cats, Chloe and Mandy, will miss her most dearly. Once, while on a trip to Europe with her brother Michael, she photographed more cats than she did people.Everyone who knew Linda would agree she always had a smile on her face and made everyone feel comfortable. She made friends everywhere she went. Family and friends are invited to her Celebration of Life on Friday, January 12th, 1pm at Fremont Memorial Chapel, 3723 Peralta Blvd, Fremont with a reception to follow.Preceded in death by, Joan (mother), William (father) and Robert Dunn (brother).In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made by planting a tree through alivingtribute.org or to your favorite charity.

I worked with Linda at PAMF - she was always so kind and helpful. We both shared a love for cats. I missed her dearly after she retired and I was deeply saddened when I heard of her health struggles and passing. I hope peace and comfort surrounds the family during these difficult times.
