The last six years of her life were spent on the farm that her maternal great-grandmother bought outside Cuba in 1884, which is fondly dubbed Top of Big Creek Hill. Linda passed away at Graham Hospital Extended Care on Monday, June 17, 2019.

She is survived by a brother, Richard Roy Deakin of Canton and a sister, Celia Mae (Larry) Beam of Cuba; Richard’s children: Don Justus Deakin, II of Canton, Sarah (Rich) Smolen of Plainfield, IL, Karen (Craig) Bouc and Michelle Garner both of Canton; Celia and Larry’s children: Chad (Elizabeth) Beam of Cuba, Cole Beam and David Myers of San Francisco, CA, and Carrie Beam of Cuba; 12 great-nephews and nieces: Colton, Josh, Kyle, Emily, Sydnee, Jacob, Justus, John, Garrett, Cade, Kalina and Olivia; one great-great-nephew and two great-great-nieces and several cousins.

She gave 38 years to the nursing profession and eight years to the school.

Family history and genealogy were her passion from an early age. She was thrilled to learn her DNA proved to be 40 percent Irish (which explains a lot) and disappointed that it showed none of the American Indian DNA. She loved the critters (especially Bigfoot) that visited her “farm.” She enjoyed watching, feeding and housing the many birds. She loved to bake and try new recipes to add to her keeper box — thank you to Mom and 4-H! She loved the outdoors — thanks, Dad! She enjoyed being with family and friends and hosting wiener roasts. Family is everything!

Linda’s motto was “wear red lipstick,” it makes everything seem better!
