Linda Desman

Linda May Desman passed away on Monday, March 24, 2025 leaving behind a legacy of strength, creativity, and compassion. She was the cherished daughter of Dr. Reynold P. and Tessie Thomas Desman and a beloved sister to Robert Jay Desman (wife Barbara), Richard Desman (wife Mary Jane), and the late Reynold Desman (wife Kathleen).

Linda was a devoted aunt to Paul Desman (wife Lana), Garrett Desman, Rebecca Desman Frost (husband James), and Courtney Desman (husband Austin Cornelio). She held a cherished place in her heart for her great-nieces and nephews: Camilla, Tristan, and Nathan Frost, as well as Davis and Crosby Cornelio.

She had a passion for arts and crafts and was a great animal lover, especially of her beloved German Shepherd, Coco. She was a compassionate and patient listener, always making time for those around her.

Linda's warmth, strong will, and generous spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
