Linda was born on July 19, 1949, in Akron, Ohio, to John and Gladys (Soppit) Bajcar and graduated from Barberton High School.
She worked as a homemaker, beautician, and florist for McNeill's Floral Supply over the years.
Linda loved nature and taking long walks in God's creation. She was also known for her artistic nature, especially her drawing skills. Linda was a true fashionista. She loved her clothes and shopping. Above all, she cherished her time spent with family.
Surviving are her significant other, Ron Hershey; two daughters, Melanie (Shawn) Waddle and Amanda Hiller; son, Ron (Suthinee) Lazar Jr.; six grandchildren, Brittany (Brandon) Williams, Christian (Mikayla) Waddle, Alexis Hill, Kaitlin Hill, Colin Hiller, and Brynn Hiller; three great grandchildren (an one on the way); a brother, Jim (Pam) Bajcar; and five sisters, Kathy (John) Lich, Jeanette Evans, Joyce Bajcar, Janice Bajcar, and Deb Gradisher; numerous nieces and nephews; and her first husband and father of her children, Ron Lazar, Sr.
She was preceded in death by both of her parents.
A celebration of Linda's life will be held at a later date.

I will be forever grateful for the love and patience you showed to our two kids during their first few years of life while you stayed with us and helped raise them. You were such a kind soul. Love you. Rest in Peace. I´ll see you someday again!
