Shortly thereafter the family moved to Illinois and settled in the South Suburbs. Linda grew up primarily in the Flossmoor area before relocating to Monee in the 1980’s. She is survived by her beloved daughter, Courtney (Jon) Bovie; Cherished grandson, J.J. Bovie; Devoted sisters, Billie Bergeron and Debra (William) Starkey. She also leaves her loving pet family, Little One and Tiger. Linda was a longtime employee of the US Postal Service, doing multiple jobs including mail delivery, sorting, and working the front desk.
