Linda Page was the kind of person whose presence made life feel steadier and kinder just by being there. She passed away peacefully in November 2025 after a brave and unwavering fight with pancreatic cancer. Though her journey ended far too soon, the strength, compassion, and love she showed throughout her life will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who knew her. Linda was raised by her parents, Florence and Melvin Scheer, who instilled in her a deep sense of duty, resilience, and care for others. Those values guided her through every chapter of her life. After graduating from high school, Linda answered a calling to serve her country, dedicating 25 honorable years to the United States Air Force. Rising to the rank of Technical Sergeant, she earned numerous commendations, including the Joint Service Commendation Medal and the Joint Service Achievement Medal—recognition not just of her skill, but of her quiet leadership and unwavering integrity. Even after retiring from military service, Linda wasn’t finished giving back. She continued her dedication to public service for another 11 years as a federal civil servant, never seeking praise, only wanting to do what was right and helpful. Linda’s greatest legacy, however, lives on through her role as a mother. Her generosity, kindness, and perseverance were not just qualities she possessed but were lessons she lived and passed on daily to her only child, Kyle, whom she loved deeply like no one else. She raised him with compassion, strength, and an unwavering sense of right and wrong, leading by example in every season of life. The values Linda instilled will continue through Kyle, who carries her teachings forward and will one day pass them on to his own children, ensuring her spirit and love endure for generations to come. Linda had a special place in her heart for animals, especially her two beloved cats, Paddee and Paws, whom she cared for with tenderness and devotion. They were constant companions, bringing comfort and joy into her life, just as she gave them a safe and loving home. She also found joy in the simple pleasures that made her smile—none more than cheering on the Tampa Bay Lightning. A devoted fan, she rarely missed a game, sharing in every victory and heartbreak with the same passion and loyalty that defined her in all things. Linda’s legacy is one of service, kindness, and love. She will be remembered not only for what she did, but for who she was: a steady presence, a gentle heart, and a woman who made the world around her better simply by being in it.
She is survived by her only child, Kyle, and her daughter-in-law, Nicole, who were the pride and joy of her life, as well as her youngest sister, Mary Patrice. She now joins her parents, Florence and Melvin, her eldest sister Deborah and her brother Joseph, who welcomed her home.
