Linda S. Guster (Stein)
Bay City, Michigan
Our beloved wife, sister, and aunt passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at her home, leaving behind her loving family and many dear friends.
Linda was born on December 5, 1958, in Bay City, she was the daughter of Robert and Donna (Jones) Stein. On March 26, 1992, she married the love of her life, Steven Guster, and together they shared many happy years filled with family, laughter, and cherished memories. Linda was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Bay City.
Linda's greatest joy was always found in the company of her family. She and Steven played a vital role in raising their granddaughters, Ashley and Chelsea Richards, and lovingly raised her great niece, Sophia Stein, who became more like a daughter than a niece. Linda also treasured time spent shopping and traveling with her dear friend, Linda Betzold, often exploring the beauty of Michigan together. She was known for her love of traveling, her warm spirit in hosting gatherings, and her unwavering devotion to her loved ones.
She is survived by her husband, Steven; her parents, Robert and Donna Stein; her brother, Jim (Donna) Stein; nephews, David (Dani) Stein and Brian Stein; great-nieces Chloe and Laiklynn Stein; her beloved Sophia Stein, who held a special place in her heart, and loving sister-in-law Tina (Don) Morton.

Linda was predeceased by her father and mother-in-law John C. and Betty J. Guster, son-in-law Derek Guster, and niece Amanda Stein.
