Linda Ann Harris passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on September 26, 2026. Linda lived her life with remarkable courage and grace, fueled by her tremendous and constant love for her family and friends. Linda had a unique ability to connect with people through her quick-witted sense of humor, compassionate nature and down-to-earth personality. These shining qualities, among a great many others, resulted in an extensive network of friends and neighbors in the community in which she lived and in her church community at Trinity Lutheran Church of East Amherst. Linda’s greatest joy was spending time with her children and grandchildren. She was a strong role model to and had a special relationship with each of them. Linda was quick to celebrate their accomplishments, provide sound advice, laugh easily and celebrate each of them from infancy until adulthood. Linda was the best mother and grandmother anyone could hope for. Family and friends may call on Thursday October 1, 2026 from 4-7pm at PERNA, DENGLER ROBERTS FUNERAL HOME, 1671 Maple Rd.
