Linda Lagemann Obituary
Loving sister, compassionate friend, advocate for children, psychologist, professor at UCSF, Commissioner for Citizens Commission on Human Rights, Special Olympics coach, adventurer.
Dr. Linda Ann Lagemann, age 63 passed away on March 27, 2020, in Los Angeles, California. She passed away from a Stage 4 liver cancer diagnosis that came in early 2020 giving her just months to wrap up a lifetime of dedicated work within her field.
Linda was born January 11, 1957 in Whittier, California to R. Barry & Bonnie C. Lagemann and grew up in, Sun Valley CA & Maplewood, NJ. She graduated in 1995 with a doctoral degree in Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP). Linda was a respected national expert with extensive education, experience, and observation in her field. Linda enjoyed the SF Ballet, theater, basketball, mountain climbing, and many other adventures. She had a passion for life and a dedication to improve, impact and help the lives of others. When Linda left her private practice she dedicated herself to ensuring that the public, especially parents, had access to crucial information that the psychology and psychiatric pharmaceutical industries conceal. Linda was tremendously charitable and used her knowledge to lift up those who needed help. Linda was a woman beloved for positive energy and great compassion for others. She will truly be missed.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her siblings Barry, Greg, Ken, Daniel, Clark, Bonnie, David, John, and countless nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Due to the COVID restrictions, there will be Celebrations of Life at a later date, in both Los Angeles, CA at the Church of Scientology and a Catholic Mass in New Jersey to ensure all who loved and admired Linda can join in remembering a life well lived. See legacy.com for updated information about services.

While studying together for our PhD's in Berkeley, Linda and I became fast friends; it was easy to be her friend, since she was an interesting, energetic soul with an infectious laugh and deep care for others. In Greek we say, Eonia i mnimi - "May her memory be eternal." I know it will be for all who had the good fortune to know her.

Linda was truly an amazing woman and an extremely valuable person to all of humanity. I had the pleasure of becoming a friend and working with her at our church, where she was a pivotal crusader for human rights. I will always keep her memory in my heart.

I was fortunate to work with Linda on a project at American Conservatory Theater we named "Theater on the Couch". It was an after-show program to discuss the psychological aspects of the performances. It became wildly popular mostly due to Linda's expertise and humanity. I have much admiration for this remarkable woman and the world is a sadder place for her loss.
I love you Linda.
