Linda Jean Baughman

Born in Cumberland, Maryland on March 31, 1946. Linda was a graduate of Julienne High School and Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing in Dayton, Ohio. Linda served with dedication for 34 years as a Nurse at Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton.

Independent and fearless, Linda traveled overseas by herself when she was in her early 20’s. From the Great Pyramids in Egypt to Rio de Janeiro to Petra in Jordan, she got to experience many wonders of the world. She had a lifelong appreciation for history and world cultures.

Linda was a kind, gentle woman full of empathy and compassion. She loved her family and enjoyed their presence at every holiday and birthday celebration. She loved sweets, coffee, music, and laughter. She often delighted her family with her unique sense of humor.

She had a love for gardening, nature, and animals. Every summer, she decorated her patio with bright, beautiful flowers, wind chimes, and a soothing water fountain. It was her happy place. She also had an immense love for animals, especially her two cats.

A woman of strength and fortitude, Linda battled a number of health challenges throughout her life, but always persevered with determination, serving as an inspiration to those around her. Linda will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Linda is preceded in death by her parents Nusre Mansor and Marie (Khoury) Mansor, and her cousin Martha Karam. She is survived by her daughter Danielle Baughman, her sisters Renee Williamson and Marie Louise Mansor, her nephew Mark Williamson (Shannon), niece Gabrielle Williamson (Rachel), as well as several grand-nephews and grand-nieces.
