Linda Elizabeth (Coulter) Prandoni, age 81, died on August 29, 2025, at The Village at Orchard Ridge in Winchester, Virginia, after suffering from dementia for a number of years.

She was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on October 9, 1943, to James B. Coulter and Norma Brink Coulter. Most of her childhood was spent in and Green Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1960, the family moved to Bethesda, Maryland, where she graduated from Bethesda Chevy Chase High School in 1962. After high school, she attended Maryland University in College Park, Maryland.

Linda and her husband of 63 years, Andrew "Andy" P. Prandoni, lived at several places in Montgomery County, Maryland, one of which was in Glen Hills for eighteen years. They spent twelve years restoring an 1892 Victorian home in Garrett Park, Maryland. In 2016, they moved to The Village at Orchard Ridge in Winchester, Virginia.

Linda's greatest love was for her family. In addition to her husband, Andrew, she is survived by two sons, Andrew P. Prandoni, Jr., and Stephen J. Prandoni, a daughter Carolyn Knowles (Brent); and a brother, James B. Coulter Jr. (Sylvia). Also left to remember her are five grandchildren: Zak Knowles, MacKenzie Miller, Hannah Knowles, Sam Knowles and Andrew J. Prandoni.

Linda found great joy gardening. She was an active member of the Glen Hills Garden Club where she served as the activities planner. She was also an active member at Grace United Methodist Church in Gaithersburg and served on the Staff Parish Relations Committee for a number of years.
