Linda was born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania on April 12th, 1950. She was the youngest of five children, the third daughter of Michael and Francis Dakos. Linda leaves behind two daughters, Melinda and Alicia Dakos, 4 grandchildren Shynia Rock, Darius Armadore, Nastassia Dakos and Marcus Young as well as her sister and best friend Joanne Miller. She also leaves behind her brother in law Eugene Banky, and a niece Michelle Dakos and her beloved dogs Cody and Sadie. She was preceded in death by her 2 brothers Michael and David Dakos and her sister Martha Banky.
Linda attended New London High School after moving to the area in her days of youth. After high school she worked as an “Inspector” at Silgan Plastic and Sheffield Pharmaceuticals. Linda took pride in her work, but the biggest job she had was being the matriarch of the family. Linda was the glue that kept her family bonded, a grandma to all. She was a dedicated and loyal mother for both her daughters and her grandchildren. Linda loved her family unconditionally and did anything she could to make sure her family had everything they needed.
In addition to taking care of her family, Linda enjoyed gardening, cooking, cheering her grandkids on at sporting events and listening to her one true love, Elvis. She was always happy and jovial with a great sense of humor. Her favorite times were at family gatherings where she would be found cracking jokes and making everyone laugh.
Linda was a strong warrior having survived breast cancer and 2 prior heart attacks. Sadly she was called home to be with her parents and siblings who were waiting patiently to hold her once more.
Those that had the pleasure of knowing her will miss her greatly.
