Linda Flynn Belbeck, 75, passed away after a valiant battle with cancer April 3, 2021. She was born July 25, 1945 in Orlando, Florida. She was the daughter of Charles (Charlie) R. and Ethel A. (Fields) Flynn.
Linda graduated in 1963 from Edgewater High School, Orlando, and attended Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. She married Mike October 14, 1989. They celebrated 31 years of marriage together.
In addition to her husband, Mike, survivors include her two sons; Kevin Landress, Sanford, Florida and Chadd Landress, Piney Flats, Tennessee; her sister Julie Klimetz, Gulf Breeze, Florida; and her stepson, Michael Belbeck, Jr., Knoxville, Tennessee; five grandchildren; Sara Casey, Sebastian Landress, Julie Belbeck, John Belbeck and Christine Martinez; two nieces, Christie and Jill Anderson. She was predeceased by her parents; brother Charles R. (Rusty) Flynn, Jr. and sister Karen Anderson.
Linda spent a number of years in the automobile dealership industry learning from her father who was a long time Lincoln Mercury General Manager in Orlando. After leaving the automobile industry, she worked in an administrative capacity with Florida Hospital, now Advent Health, until her retirement in 2010.
She was a talented decorator who enjoyed photography. Linda loved RV’ing. After retirement she and Mike traveled in their RV extensively throughout the United States and the lower Canadian provinces. All the major National Parks were visited including Yellowstone, Zion, Yosemite and Bryce Canyon to name a few. Yellowstone was by far her favorite.
Being a native Floridian and born in Orlando she enjoyed its history and preservation. One of her lifelong passions was genealogy. She did extensive research on her family as well as Mike’s. She loved her two dogs, first Sinnamon and then Nugget. Nugget was a comfort to her during her illness.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held Monday, April 26, 2021 at 2:30 pm. It will be in the Camelia Room at Leu Gardens, 1920 N. Forest Avenue, Orlando. At the request of the family, dress will be colorful and causal. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the American Cancer Society.
