Nana worked for Morton's where she met the love of her life Roger, she also worked at AMP where she retired. Linda's Christian faith was strong. Earthly relationships are not always kind, but she knew she would be reunited with her son, Rodney Wade Zirkle, in God's timing. Linda was a faithful member of the Fishersville Baptist Church, she volunteered at Legacy Hospice, took stray cats to the vet to be fixed. She wanted the employees of Animal Hospital of Waynesboro to know how much she appreciated the special care they delivered to her animals. Nana was faithful in her service to the church. One of the things she always looked forward to was making the wreaths and decorating the church sanctuary for Christmas. You could always tell when she was part of the decorating by the special touches and her attention to detail. She loved flower arranging, gardening, painting, cooking, caring for others, loved all her animals, spending time with her family, camping, fishing, listening to bluegrass music, loved Jesus and shared him with others any time she could, she always mastered the competition of who could catch the most fish while camping at Peacefull River Campground. Nana had the gift of hospitality and always made everyone feel welcome. Her cooking was out of this world, especially her famous chocolate chip cake. Every time she held a baby or child she sang "You are my sunshine" to them. In honoring Linda's wishes her remains were cremated. A private celebration of her life will be held in Belington, WV., on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the convenience of the family.
