Linda Will

Linda Sue (nee Kistner) Will, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, will be remembered for her warmth and kindness following her passing on July 12, 2025, at the age of 75. Born on June 14, 1950, in Cincinnati, Ohio, she was the cherished daughter of Andrew and Betty (Neuner) Kistner. After graduating from Seton, Linda embarked on a loving journey with Carroll J. Will Jr., whom she married on August 23, 1969. Together, they created a wonderful life filled with love and laughter, welcoming two daughters, Jennifer and Andria. As the girls got older she dedicated many years of her life to her role at the Cincinnati Enquirer, where her spirit shone brightly in the Sales department. Linda found joy in simple pleasures such as shopping, bowling, enjoying a refreshing Pepsi, and indulging her sweet tooth with chocolate.
Above all, Linda was a source of unwavering support and affection for her family. With her daughter Jenny's disability, she did workshops for everybody counts for schools and diligently worked to educate others on treating those with disabilities with kindness and compassion. Her heart overflowed with love for her daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, as well as her beloved puppy, Lucy, who brought her joy until her passing last year.
Linda is preceded in death by her husband, Carroll J. Will Jr., her daughter, Jennifer Will and parents. She is survived by her daughter Andria and son-in-law Roger Noble; cherished grandchildren McKala (Brian Taylor) Will, Cassidy Noble, and Reaghan Noble; and her great grandsons, William Carroll Taylor and Jonathan Taylor. Also survived by nieces and nephews.
