Linda was born to the late Warren and Mabel (Emerson) Jordan, graduated from Crestview High School in 1965 and immediately went to LPN training in Elyria, Ohio.

Linda is survived by Jake, Elaine Beth, Myla, brothers Tom and Jim, and many cherished family, friends, and coworkers.
Linda’s grandchildren and great granddaughter were the light of her life. She loved spending time with all of them, Joshua and Jacob Hart, Ali and Audrey Hershberger, and Savannah Hart.

So saddened to hear of the passing of Linda. I met Linda at WCH and found her to be a delight and joy to be around. She was a great gal and nurse. She will be missed big time!
Thank you for sharing Ms. Sally
Linda was my much loved cousin. Though er grew up separated by hundreds of miles we remained close over the years. She was fun loving, beautiful, kind and caring. My condolences go out to her family who she adored, especially her little granddaughters who will miss her deep love and affection for them. God’s peace to you all.
Sympathy to all the family. I had the privilege of knowing Linda and working with her as a fellow RN at Wooster Hospital. Enjoyed working with her and her sense of humor.
There was only one Linda… kind, funny and caring. I was privileged to work with Linda and Elaine and also knew her sister Nancy. Her legacy will live on and we are the ones that cherish her memory.
So sorry for your loss, may time heal you.
she was loved by us all !!
Deepest Sympathy to family & friends. I met/worked with Linda at Gruter Foundation, when we both were starting out our nursing careers. I became a nurse partly because of her influence. Lovely lady, heaven gained another angel. Peace to your hearts
