It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Linda Kovsky Sherwood, born on January 31, 1943, in Ducktown, Tennessee, to Steve and Naomi Kovsky. Linda departed this world peacefully on June 21, 2025, at her home in McCaysville, Georgia, at the age of 82. She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and a sense of community that touched the lives of everyone she met.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents Steve and Naomi Kovsky, her sons Jeff Bruce and Eric Bruce

She was a devoted member of the McCaysville Church of God, where her unwavering faith in the Lord shone brightly. Her infectious smile, warm heart, and caring spirit endeared her to many, as she made deep connections throughout her life. She was known for her love of people, often bringing joy and compassion into the lives of those around her.

Linda cherished her family, including her sister, Joan Kovsky, and brother, Steven Kovsky. She was also a proud grandmother to Steve (Mirah) Bruce and an adoring great-grandmother to Blayne, Maxon, Rilee, and Rachel Bruce.

Linda dedicated her career to assembly work in the medical industry with HealthDyne Technologies. Her work ethic and commitment were evident to all who had the pleasure to know her.
