I never met her in person, but she always helped me with
causes behind the scenes and was always willing to do her best to help. She was
married and lived in Jahra and had 2 daughters. Friends of mine helped her leave
Kuwait with her children and move back to the States. She just silently
disappeared from the radio one day. Everyone talked about why and what had
happened for months to follow.
She was loved by many who grew up with her on the radio -
often listening to her advice to "wear your seat belt" on their way
to school. Many actually heeded that advice and she may have saved lives because of it.
Linda died on May 27, 2019, atter a stay in the
hospital. She was surrounded by her family in North Carolina.
Her daughter writes
Our sweet mother Linda passed away yesterday morning. She fought hard since February 21st of this year. It has been a long, hard road for our family. She was an amazing mom and grandma, we could not have asked for better. We now have the most caring and loving guardian angel watching over us. We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for help to lay our mom to rest. There was a GoFundMe set up to help pay for medical bills, it is still open. Anything will help.
