Linda Sue Evans 1946-2020

Linda was born May 17, 1946, in Youngstown, William J. and Alma J. Morgan. She grew up the South Side, attended Bancroft School and then Woodrow Wilson, where she was an honor student and a member of the school choir and drama club, as well as other school activities. After her high school graduation in 1964, she attended Youngstown State University,where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.

Linda’s career goal was to teach English to high school students. She began her career at Jackson-Milton Local Schools in 1968, teaching English to ninth- and 10th-grade students. In addition to her teaching duties, Linda served as junior class adviser, helping students plan 17 Junior / Senior Proms. She continued to further her education at YSU and received her M.A. in English in 1985.

While teaching at Jackson-Milton, she met her husband, David, also a teacher at the school. The couple was married Aug. 9, 1969. They taught together for 29 years and retired together in 1997.

After retiring, Linda pursued her interest in reading, cooking, gardening, and especially counted cross-stitch, for which she was awarded many Canfield Fair prize ribbons.

Linda was a lifelong church member. She attended John Knox Presbyterian Church as a young girl, Brownlee Woods Presbyterian after her marriage, and most recently, Heritage Presbyterian, where she served as elder, clerk of session, sang in church choir and participated in many other church activities.

Together, Linda and David traveled throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico, European travel trips to Spain, Italy and France, and return trips to England, Scotland and Wales.

Linda will be remembered by her husband, David; her cousins, Debbie Stanley (Aaron), Patty McCombs and Susan Krobusek, Nancy Alexander (Dennis), Kathy Moff (David), David A. Kramer, Carl V. Thompson (Evelyn), Don Thompson, and by the other members of the Kramer and Thompson families.

Due to COVID-19, private services will be held.
