Linda Durdle Obituary
ONTARIO - Linda Marie (Jordan) Durdle, of Ontario, Ohio, age 75, passed away on July 2, 2024, with her family by her side.
She was born on October 3, 1948, in Mt. Vernon, Ohio to the late Roy and Esther (Hobbs) Jordan and graduated from Northmor High School in 1966.
She is survived by her devoted husband Patrick Durdle of 57 years, children Christina Durdle of Grove City, Ohio, Brian (Renae) Durdle, of Moreland Hills, Ohio, and Miki (Matthew) Graban, of Shaker Heights, Ohio, sister Patricia (Leslie) Wenger of Galion, Ohio, and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews and other extended family.
In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by her sister Judith (Jordan) Garverick.
Linda had an unconditional love for her children and was an amazing Nana to her grandchildren Nichole, Jake, James, Ellie, Grace, Luke, Anna Kate, Madeline, Maeve; step-grandchildren Connor, Pippa; great-grandchildren Dominic, Emelia, Rocco, Connor, Sophia, Clara, Niko; step-great-grandchildren Collins, Elliott, Baker. Her heart and love for her family, and genuine love for everyone who loved her family, is the reason she kept fighting.
Nana was famous for her chicken and noodles with mashed potatoes, which was frequently requested by her family. Her most recently treasured family tradition was celebrating Christmas at Mohican Lodge. She also enjoyed traveling to the lakes and Amish Country and cherished time spent in Columbus and Cleveland visiting family.
Linda was a passionate owner of Durdle's Greenhouse in Galion, Ohio for 13 years. She and her family also owned and operated The Warrior Restaurant in Ontario, Ohio in the 1980s and early 1990s. She developed life-long friends while working in retail later in life. Her smile, spirit, humor, and grit always amazed everyone who met her. Most never knew her in good health, yet seldom did anyone perceive her as sick while in her presence because of these qualities.
Linda's family expresses great appreciation to the caregivers of OhioHealth Home Hospice and the Kobacker House. A celebration of life service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Kobacker House-Hospice Giving.
