Linda F. Soule, 83, of Bloomville, passed away peacefully on Monday, Oct. 13 at A.O. Fox Hospital, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on Aug. 21, 1942, Linda was the daughter of the late Richard and Frances (Martin) Kenyon. Linda was a proud graduate of South Kortright Central School and made Bloomville her lifelong home.
Linda was known for her love of cooking and her deep devotion to her family. She was a dedicated wife, a loving mother, and a proud grandmother and great-grandmother. She especially enjoyed traveling with her husband, Larry, creating cherished memories together over the years. Linda was devoted member of Bloomville United Methodist Church, where she had served as superintendent of Sunday school for many years. She also had a love for Halloween; Linda enjoyed the costumes and watching the kids have fun trick or treating.
After a long career starting at the Delaware County clerk’s office in 1979, she went on to retire in 1995 as the court clerk for the New York State Supreme Court in Delhi. Following her retirement Linda retired focused on what she loved most — spending time with and caring for her grandchildren.
