Linda was a lovely lady, I always enjoyed working with her at Square D. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are to the family and friends.
So sorry to learn of Linda’s passing. She was a classy, competent, and caring lady who was held in high regard by everyone at Square D. I always admired her contagiously happy demeanor and her willingness to assist others in her role in Human Resources. She was a genuinely gracious person who always put other peoples’ interests above her own. Linda was a long-time friend and a truly wonderful lady who will be missed by all. My condolences to Demetri, Dustin, Peggy, Mike, and the family.
Linda was a fine woman and a respected member of the human resource management community. She will be missed. I extend my deepest sympathy to the family.

I pray with all my heart for God’s comfort! She didn’t say goodbye, she said goodnight! You all will see her in Heaven.. Love You! Aunt Diane
Dear family,friends Linda was a wonderful friend co-worker and mother and grandmother I worked with her for 23 years, always was caring listening to our complaints and always resolving them in a quick reasonable way. She was in my Sunday School Class at Mount Carmel. The last Sunday she was with us she seemed to be so happy working in her garden and planning for winter. God thought it was time for her to join him and all of her family and friends that has gone to be with him. GOD surly has a new Angle to complete his GARDEN REST IN PIECE CHARLINE
So sorry to read about Linda’s death. I graduated with her and kept in touch over the years. A true friend who will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
Shout out to Peggy
My mom and her sister were always close and aunt Mary has helped our family so much since her death.
I first met Linda 50 years ago when we all went to New York for a week of fun and historical study adventure. She was so kind to me when others were not and made the trip so much fun. Her kindness and interest in me as a misunderstood individual will always be cherished. I think of that trip every time I am in New York (you also). I know you will miss her and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope this note puts a smile on your face. I know thinking about Linda puts one on mine.
It is hard to give up a good friend so I am thankful for the hope of seeing her again in our New Home. My prayers are with the family.
Barb and I just learned of Linda’s passing and wish to express our condolences. Linda was a trusted as well as excellent co-worker with the Square D Asheville family. Our sympathy to all her family.
There is nothing like a mother’s love. I wish all of your family the best Sincerely Joanna Worley RNR
