Linda Drake
Tribute
Linda Drake passed away peacefully on October 11, 2024 with her loving husband of 63 years next to her side and holding her hand. Linda was born on September 25, 1939 to Robert and Rebecca Pentecost in Indianapolis, Indiana. From the earliest age, she considered herself a pollyanna who was blessed to grow up in a multi-generational environment of love and family. Her irrepressible optimism and love of life extended to everyone and everything - meaning every bird with a broken wing needing mending and every flower needing tending received her full attention. There is a family of opossums somewhere who also have her to thank for their continued livelihood. Linda’s motto was “bloom where you’re planted” and her tendency to find the good in all things is survived in her husband John, her two children Anne and Dave, and her grandchildren Zach and Josh.
