Linda Carol Dreams, 78, of Battle Creek, Michigan, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2025 at Nathan Adleman Hospice in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Linda was born on September 7, 1946, in Battle Creek, Michigan to Willa Mae Dreams and Harry Clifton Dreams who both preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Gail Dreams; and nephews, Michael Dreams, Gregory McCoy & Brandon Henry.

Linda attended Roosevelt Elementary, Southwestern Junior High and later graduated from Battle Creek Central. She worked for many years at V.C. Squire, as well as at Henry's Stripping.

A woman of many interests, Linda loved to travel with her sister, Annette and brother-in-law, Edward Henry across the country. She enjoyed bowling, word puzzles, going to the casino and football, whether it was Michigan State or Michigan she always cheered for whichever team her family happened to support that day. She also enjoyed an occasional trip to the movies, watching The Price is Right, Let's Make a Deal and on quiet evenings watching Lifetime movies and reading novels.

Linda was more than an aunt, sister, and friend she was a second mother to countless children in Battle Creek. Families entrusted their little ones to her care, whether it was for an hour or several days, Linda embraced each child with love as if they were her own.

Her nurturing spirit and kindness left a lasting imprint on everyone she touched.

Linda is survived by her beloved sisters, Annette Henry and Sheila White of Las Vegas, Rita McCoy of New York, Tanya Peavy, Karen Wilks, Michele Grayer, Sheryl Gordon; brother, Jerry Dreams of Battle Creek; along with a host of nieces and nephews who loved her deeply.

Linda will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, sense of humor, and unwavering love for her family and community. She will be dearly missed and forever cherished.
