Passed away on November 7, 2024, at the age of 69.  She was predeceased by her parents, Raymond and Erika Kinel.

Linda is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Matthew Karch; her beloved siblings, Sue (Chuck) and Norman (Lisa); her cherished nieces and nephews and their spouses, Jennifer, Jonathan (Maria), Melissa (Duran), Michael, Juliana (Emanual), and Ethan; her stepson, Randall (Meghan); her step-grandson, Bowman; and her great-nieces and nephews, Michael, Marco, Ariana, and Theo.

Linda was a dedicated career recreational director, most recently in Delray Beach, Florida. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures, was a passionate sports fan, but above all, was a beloved wife, sister, aunt, stepmother and step-grandmother. She loved her nieces and nephews as though they were her own children and held a deep affection for her extended family in Rochester, NY. Her generosity, kindness, and infectious spirit also made her a devoted and cherished friend to many.

Despite facing serious medical challenges for decades, Linda always displayed incredible strength, courage, and optimism. Her resilience set an example for all who knew her, and her memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
