Condolences to family!
I graduate 1967 we were in band together for a couple years.
I had a lot of fun in the marching band with her.
A really sweet kind lady.
Bless you all!

When I relocated to Dowagiac and started work at Community State Bank, Linda was one of the first to welcome me to the community. She became a good friend, threw a baby shower for our first born, and let me take care of their children while took time off to raise ours. We continued our contact with each other over the years through Ernestine and Doug who became our neighbors and family-friends. This journey of life has given me happiness, to have Linda Matthews Gardner, a great part of it for more than forty -five years. My condolences to the Gardner and Matthew Families

Dear Gardner Family,
All though it has been a lot of years since we had seen Linda this wonderful thing called Facebook reunited us in space. I got to know Linda when she worked at my Parents Fruit Market (Kietzer;s Farm Market) in SIster Lakes, Michigan. She was always a joy to be around and I liked working with her. She also shared a couple of recipes and I still have her Russian dressing recipe in her handwriting in my recipe box. I am so sorry to hear of her passing and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I wish you peace to bring comfort , courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold forever in your hearts. God Bless.
With Sympathy, Art and Chris Sedlar
