Age 65, of Newark, DE passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at the Compassionate Care Hospice at St. Francis Hospital on Wednesday, July 28th, 2010.
Born in Louisville, KY, Linda was the daughter of the late John and Mary (Barth) Zech. Linda moved to Wilmington with her family in 1957 and then to Newark with her husband in 1969. Linda worked for many years in early childhood education until the birth of her first grandchild in 1993. Her many talents included cooking, cake decorating, art, and interior decorating. She loved her home away from home in Lewes, DE, where she enjoyed boating and fishing on the surf with her family. In their retirement, Linda and her husband enjoyed many trips abroad with their close friends.
Linda was predeceased by her parents and her son Stephen E. Crump. She is survived by her husband Thomas N. Crump and daughters Diane L. Nabb and Jennifer K. Skomorucha, who are better mothers today because of her example as a wonderful Mom-Mom to her four grandchildren; Trevor, Brooke, Jacob and Logan.
The family wishes to extend their thanks to the entire staff at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center and Compassionate Care Hospice.
