It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of Mrs. Linda Ross on August 14, 2026. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, nurse, and friend. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion, strength, and unwavering devotion to those fortunate enough to know her.

For more than 30 years, she served as a brilliant nurse, earning the admiration of colleagues and patients alike. Known as a mentor to countless nurses throughout her career, she led with wisdom, patience, and kindness. Her calm presence, compassionate heart, and unwavering dedication made her an extraordinary caregiver and a source of comfort during life’s most difficult moments.

She was a beautiful, kind, patient, compassionate, and stoic woman whose quiet strength inspired everyone around her. Benevolent by nature, she devoted her life to caring for others, always putting their needs before her own.

Above all, she was the protector and guardian of her family. She was a patient and loving wife to her devoted husband, Roger, and the heart of her family. Her greatest joy came from the people she loved most.

Outside of nursing and family, she found happiness in life’s simple pleasures. She loved antiquing, faithfully listening to the obituaries each day, watching the hummingbirds gather outside her window, and tenderly caring for her beloved animals. Those quiet moments reflected the gentle spirit that defined her life.

Though words can never fully capture the remarkable woman she was, her legacy lives on in every life she touched. She taught others how to serve with compassion, love without condition, and face life’s challenges with courage and grace. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

She was preceded in death by her parents, whose love and guidance helped shape the remarkable woman she became.

She is lovingly survived by:

Her devoted husband, Roger Ross

Her children:

• Susan Chambers-Phillips and her husband, Keith
• Blake Ross and his wife, Sarah
• Megan Whaley and her husband, Jason
