Linda E Evangelista

Linda E Evangelista, 67, passed away on April 30, 2026. Born on July 20, 1958, in Cebu, Philippines, she carried with her the steady strength of her beginnings and the abiding faith that guided her throughout life. A resident of Chicago, Illinois, Linda was deeply cherished and will be remembered with enduring respect and gratitude.

Raised in the Philippines, Linda was the beloved daughter of the late Brigida & Justo Evangelista. She grew up alongside her siblings—Edgar, Tita, Jessica, Marieta, and the late Rhoda—within a family that shaped her devotion and instilled the values she lived by: sincerity, kindness, and a giving spirit that did not seek recognition.

Linda became a Registered Nurse in the Philippines, a calling well suited to her hardworking nature and steady compassion. She later migrated to Chicago to work in the hospital industry. Through persistence and selfless determination, she used that opportunity to bring the rest of her family from the Philippines—an act that reflected both her deep devotion and the quiet courage of someone who put others first.

Her faith was not confined to private reflection, but expressed through wholehearted service. Linda was heavily involved in Corpus Christi at Saint Ferdinand Church. She also took on the responsibility of guiding and organizing prayer groups, traveling throughout the Chicagoland area to pray with others—offering presence, hope, and steadfast support to those who needed it.

Linda lived simply, and her legacy is one of honest care and unfailing generosity. She made herself available to anyone in need, even when her own circumstances were not at their best. Alongside her seriousness of purpose, there was also room for warmth and gentle humor—small lightnesses that helped others feel at ease and reminded them they were not alone. Her life stands as a testament to quiet service, faithful commitment, and love expressed through action.

Linda will be profoundly missed, and lovingly remembered.
