- and fulfilling career as a registered nurse.
- Linda was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother whose greatest joy came from
- spending time with her family and friends. She shared a loving marriage with her
- husband, Robert “Bob” Unruh, and together they built a life centered around love,
- laughter, and shared passions. Linda took immense pride in following the lives of her

- pleasures. She was an avid fan of all the Philadelphia sports teams and especially loved
- watching Phillies games with Bob by her side—a pastime that brought them countless
- hours of enjoyment together.
