It is with deep love and gratitude that we celebrate the life of Linda Lee Kibler McGuire, a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and dear friend. She left this world having touched countless lives, and all who knew her will remember her with affection and admiration.
Linda was a true role model to all. Her kindness, wisdom, and generosity set an example that will continue to guide her family and friends for generations to come. She poured her heart into both her family and her work, and her legacy is one of love, compassion, and strength.
She dedicated her career as the Director of Social Services at Heinzerling Memorial Foundation, where she found purpose and joy in serving others. Her devotion to the residents, her respect and affection for her coworkers, and her tireless commitment to improving the lives of those in her care will never be forgotten. She truly loved her work, and it was clear to everyone around her that she had found her calling.
As a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she was the heart of her family. She celebrated every milestone, nurtured every dream, and always offered a listening ear and open arms. Her family was her greatest joy and her love knew no limits.
Her friends found her to be a loyal companion and a source of inspiration. To know her was to love her, and her laughter, warmth, and gentle spirit will remain in the hearts of all who had the privilege of calling her friend.
She was preceded in death by her parents Wilbur and Jean Kibler (Bob Dittmar), and her beloved husband, Larry Steven McGuire. She is survived by her children Larry (Tricia) McGuire of Baltimore, Ohio and Ginger (Scott) Miller of Gallatin, Tennessee; her two grandchildren Phallan (Isaac) Adams, and Nathan (Madeline) Davis; and three great-grandchildren; and sister-in-law Trudy McGuire, all of whom were the light of her life.
