Linda Rae Nantz was born on October 20, 1944 in Hamilton, Ohio to Opal May Rose (Winkler) and Ralph Clyde Rose, who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by two brothers, Ralph “Mike” Rose and Robert “Bob” Rose. Linda was married to Philip Nantz on December 30, 1961. She is survived by her husband Phil and their 4 children: son Samuel and his wife Denise; daughter Tamara and her husband Joe; daughter Pamela and her husband Todd; and daughter Kymberly and her husband John. She is also survived by 7 grandchildren, Cody and his wife Tabatha, Heather and her husband Brad, Zach, Mark, Tabatha, Jordan and Hanna; and 3 great grandchildren, Mackenzie, Crosby and Rosie. Linda was blessed in life being able to do what she always wanted to do, being a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Linda spent her life fulfilling God’s purpose for us, Love God and Love others. She was the most loving and gentle person, and always had a kind word and smile for anyone she met. She would talk to everyone like a friend, from the salesperson on the phone to the sales clerk at a store. Linda will be terribly missed but her legacy of love, kindness, gentleness and godliness lives on through everyone she touched in her 77 years of life on earth.
