Linda Kathleen Denner

Linda “Kay” Denner, 79, of Grove City, Ohio, passed away on October 29, 2026. Born on July 14, 1947, Linda was raised in the south end of of Columbus, where the steady foundations of faith, family, and service first took root and remained central throughout her life.

Linda received her nursing degree (RN) from CTI and carried that calling into a career defined by skill, steadiness, and genuine care for others. She worked at OSU and several area surgery centers, serving patients and colleagues with a quiet devotion and a kind-hearted presence that will be remembered with gratitude.

For many years, Linda was a faithful member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. Her commitment to community also found expression in her time as a troop leader for Girl Scout Troop #1322, offering guidance with patience and constancy.

Linda was cherished by those who knew her best, and her greatest joy was time spent with the people she loved. She enjoyed scrapbooking and the simple, meaningful moments that come from being together as a family—moments she helped preserve with care and intention.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Clifford and Mary (Kolas) Lewis, and her daughter-in-law, Kim Shannon.

She is survived by her husband, Ray Denner; her sons, Danny, Dennis, and Kelly Shannon; her daughter, Shannon Denner; her grandchildren, Brittany (Ronnie) Simpkins, Josh Shannon, Tiffani (Kyle) Kirkman, Charity Stoehr, and Ashley Shannon; her great-grandchildren, Landon, Layla, Olivia, Ari, Kyser, Atticus, Avada, Isla, and Raylan; her siblings, Cindy (Bob) Archer, Timmy (Darlene) Lewis, and Suzy Lewis; along with many nieces, nephews, and many dear friends.

A memorial Mass will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to Jackson Township Fire Department
