My sister and I worked with Linda at Montgomery Wards. She not only trained and mentored us, she gave us guidance that we used throughout our adult life.
We both became successful in our careers. I thank you for that Linda, may you rest in peace knowing how you helped shape our lives. God Bless You!
I wanted to thank you Darleen for your wonderful comment. Aunt Linda was a awsome person and she will be greatly missed. I am so glad she was a part of your success.
My condolences to the family of Linda Kay’s, rest in peace Linda.
Thank you Bruce

I’ve been living far away from the Warren, Pennsylvania area for many years, but I fondly remember the time I spent around Linda as well as her family. I remember her sisters well and am sad to hear that Judy and Mary are also gone. My sincere sympathy to her family and friends. She truly was a lovely person.
