Linda completed her high school education at Dunbar High School, and spent her professional career in healthcare. She worked for area nursing homes and medical offices, before ultimately spending the majority of her career at AultCare as a claims processor.
Linda’s faith was reaffirmed at Schoenbrunn Community Moravian Church in New Philadelphia.
On July 25, 1963, Linda married her true love and best friend, John “Jack” S. Vesely in Winchester, VA. Together, they raised two children, Jackie and John; and greatly enjoyed supporting and being in the presence of their 5 grandchildren.

Numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins complete her family.
In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by her sisters, Betty McKee, Ruth Ann Pasulka, Donna Earnesty, and Norma Lukaesko; and her brother, Dayne McKee.
