Linda Schultz Wood

For the past 30 years she committed herself to patient care, education and mentoring at Pennybyrn at Maryfield; a continuing care retirement community. Maryfield was a second family to her and all were touched by her kind spirit. As an Instructor and mentor of nurses, she had deep personal connections with her students and shared in the joys of their success. She selflessly dedicated her entire life to the compassionate care of others.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Artie.
