LINDA JOANN WALDRON SAGINAW, MICHIGAN Linda Joann Waldron, age 59, of Saginaw, MI. She was born on November 7, 1965, and passed away on September 17, 2025, surrounded by her family's love. She was the beloved daughter of Ann Waldron and Bruce Waldron (Beth), and the devoted sister and best friend of Andrea Howey, who never left her side through her courageous fight. She is survived by her twin daughters, Kayleen and Kelsey Figard, whom she lovingly and selflessly cared for over the past 32 years. Linda shared 35 years of her life with Frank Figard and was blessed with a host of bonus children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren through their partnership. A special bonus daughter Liz and grandson Ethan also held cherished places in her heart. She was a proud and loving aunt to her niece, Keri LaCosse (Steve), nephews, TJ Blank (Kelsey) and Gregory Howey (Ashley). Her extended family, including her Pennsylvania relatives, and many friends-especially Brandon and Teresa Watkins-will forever carry her memory close. Linda was a woman of contrasts: a little stubborn and grouchy at times, but also sweet as can be. She adored animals of all kinds and had a special place in her heart for the babies and children. In her free time, she enjoyed creating diamond art pieces, which she had great pride in gifting to others to enjoy. Linda was predeceased by her infant son, Justin John and couldn't wait for the day to rock him, she was also predeceased by both maternal and paternal grandparents as well as her brother in law Greg Howey Sr. Her wishes were to be cremated. A memorial service will be announced at a later date so family and friends can gather to celebrate her life. The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to the 3rd floor at Covenant Cooper, and the CVICU unit, especially Lisa for their compassion and extraordinary care throughout the last month of Linda's life. Linda's life was one of devotion, love and quiet strength. She leaves behind a legacy of family bonds, cherished memories, and a reminder to hold loves ones close. Memories and sympathies of Linda may be shared with the family on her memorial website at WakemanFuneralHome.com
