Linda Layman

July 28, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Layman on Jul 28, 2026. A devoted matriarch, Linda’s love for her family and others was the cornerstone of her life, and her legacy of kindness and generosity remains an inspiration to all who knew her.

Linda was the beloved mother of Josh, Megan (Maiorana), and Matty Layman and mother-in-law to James Maiorana. Her greatest joy was found in her role as a grandmother to Annabelle, Victoria, Olivia, Daphne, and Phillip, each of whom she cherished deeply.

Family and friends are invited to honor Linda’s life at the following services:

In lieu of flowers and in honor of Linda’s enduring spirit, the family requests that donations be made to SCOPE (Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education) http://www.scopeusa.org/linda-layman.
