Linda Marie Gardner

It is with heavy hearts and a deep sense of loss that our family announces the passing of our beloved wife, mother, and Grandmother, Linda Marie Baker Gardner. "Nana" passed peacefully, surrounded by her family, and was reunited in Heaven with her late daughter Pam on May 2nd, 2026, at the age of 78.

Linda was a voice from the past and a role model for the present. She devoted herself to our family, never running out of hugs or cookies. She was short on criticism and long on love, always remembering your accomplishments and forgetting your mistakes. She was the cornerstone of our family, holding it together each and every day. Linda is survived by her loving husband, Wayne; son, Adam, and wife, Melanie; grandchildren, Jacob and wife, Jaimie, Jared and wife, Christina, and Seth; great-grandchildren, Jacob Jr., Abel, Jonah, and Luka; brothers, Joe (deceased), Johnny, and WJ; sister, Sandra; and countless friends.

Visitation will be Friday, May 8th, 2026 at 2:00pm at Bryan Lee Funeral Home, with her memorial service beginning at 3:00pm.

A service of Bryan-Lee Funeral Home – Angier.
