She is preceded in death by her father and mother Michael and Joanna Bendekovich, and is survived by her brother Layne (Carole) Bendekovich. Linda grew up and lived in Phoenix, and is also survived by many friends in the area.
Linda was an animal lover and had many great dog companions that brightened her days.
She also spent time caring for her mother at the end of her life, and was a key reason that Joanna was able to leave her rehab facility and die peacefully at home.
Linda had many struggles during her life, but within the last year and a half she had made great progress in finding stability and peace, and everyone she knew was very proud of her and cheering her on.
Linda will be cremated and services will be held at a future time. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the charity of your choice.
Arrangements entrusted to Phoenix Memorial Park and Mortuary, 200 W. Beardsley Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85027.
