Linda Lou McGlin, age 78, passed away peacefully on Friday October 3, 2025, in Green Bay. Linda was born on May 5, 1947, in Carter, Wisconsin to the late Harold J. and Rose B. (Montour) Collins. She graduated from Shawano High School and owned and operated Cecil Sport Shop. Linda was devoted to her faith and was very active at St. John's United Church of Christ in Cecil. She acted as church treasurer for many years. She enjoyed line dancing, thrifting, doing puzzles and crosswords. Linda always enjoyed traveling when she could, especially the beach. Her favorite music was classic country. Linda was a quiet and well-mannered woman with a gentle soul. She was a calm mother and dear friend to many. Her grandchildren were her world, and her family loved her cooking most notably her deviled eggs, potato salad and mac and cheese. Linda was an amazing mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend; she will be deeply missed.
