LINDA JAY WARNER age 76, passed away Friday, February 16, 2024. Linda was a daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, Korb pool swimmer, Northfield skater, teacher, companion, traveler and all around regular person. It’s been quite a life. I saw the Aurora Borealis dance across the midnight sky. I flew aerobatics in an experimental plane. My feet walked the cobbled streets of Warsaw, Krakow and Prague. The architecture of Barcelona, Toledo and Florence delighted me. On a bench in Amsterdam a stranger became a friend. My tears flowed at Terezin and Auschwitz. I stared in the eye of a humpback whale and dipped my hat into the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas; into Lakes names Erie, Cardinal and Wentworth. The waters of Cuyahgoa, Colorado, Grand, Virgin, Saco, Chagrin and Vistula rivers tickled my feet. I had a fulfilling career teaching and helped many children grow. I did my best but was never perfect. I have loved and been loved by a few and not liked by a few more. Life was not always easy but I muddled through the hard times and somehow survived. I had a good sense of humor. I tried to be a loyal friend. I became “the old lady” on my street and cherished the title. All my dogs loved me. I’ve had a good life. If you would like to do something in my memory, send a few dollars to the Cleveland Food Bank (www.greaterclevelandfoodbank.org) or the Hospice of the Western Reserve (www.hospicewr.org). We have to look out for each other. You’re welcome to come and say goodbye at my burial, 11:45am, Thursday, February 22, 2024 at Lake View Cemetery (Meet at Euclid Gate).
