Linda Scheimreif Obituary
Linda was born February 23, 1945, to Dorothy and Bud Ford in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
Linda married Charles F. Scheimreif January 2nd, 1965. Together they raised four children and resided in Bryans Road, Maryland until relocating to Basye, Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley in 2009.
Raised in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, Linda graduated from Elizabethtown High School and later obtained her Nursing degree in Charles County Maryland. It was no accident that Linda was to pursue a lifelong career in nursing. She was a caregiver by nature and that was visible in all facets of her life. If she was not visiting or caring for family members, she was supporting the Shenandoah Community alongside her fellow Mt Hermon United Methodist Church parish members.
Linda was happiest surrounded by family, friends and fellow parish members. Her favorite pastimes were family gatherings with game nights and capturing memories on video. She enjoyed traveling, visiting with friends, reading, jigsaw puzzles and crochet. Linda is survived by her devoted husband of 57 years, Charles Scheimreif, son Steven Scheimreif (Dianna) of Millersville, MD, and son Scott Scheimreif (Kimberly) of Chester, MD, and daughter Kelli Kitts (Brian) of Severna Park, MD and son Jason Scheimreif (Jennifer) of Severna Park, MD and sister Sandy Allen of Elizabethtown, KY and brother Larry Ford (Lois) of Flower Mound, TX. She is also survived by 11 loving grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life Memorial Service to honor Linda will be held at Mt Hermon United Methodist Church on December 30, 2022, at 11:00AM. In lieu of flowers, Linda would have preferred donations be made to Mt Hermon United Methodist Church at 3821 Orkney Grade, Mt Jackson, VA 22842. A subsequent celebration of Linda's life will be held in the Anne Arundel County, MD area and scheduled for January 2023. Details on this will be provided through social media and an update to her Tribute page located at www.dellingerfuneralhome.com.

Linda was a wonderful woman. She was so kind and giving. She had such a great smile. She will definitely be missed. I remember crazy card games and staying up all night laughing.
