Linda Lee Schiller, age 50, of Marion died Monday evening, July 25, at the Kingston Partners of Marion following a four year battle with cancer.
On February 1, 1961, Linda Lee Jenner was born in Marion County, the third child of Buck (now deceased) and Mary Jenner. Linda was the third oldest of four girls with one brother.
Linda loved to draw, paint and design. A lot her abilities were due to her father, who had an eye for color and an artist’s hand. One of the pleasures Linda enjoyed was making dolls. She would work for hours painting the faces, designing the clothes and attaching the hair. Her efforts and attention to detail made her dolls popular and many were requested and purchased during the holiday seasons.
Her talents seemed to know no limit. Linda designed and created all the bridal bouquets and center pieces for her daughter’s wedding. The program and décor was the product of Linda and her daughter’s combined efforts.
Linda was a loving caring mother sacrificing her chances at a career to become a homemaker insuring her home was safe and secure for her children. She was able to bring a smile to any occasion and was known for her ability to make others feel comfortable and at ease.
Linda loved to shop. Clothing, shoes, boots and accessories were her treasures. She preferred a look with some “bling”. A little sparkle here some glints there. She was sometimes referred to as the ‘Bling Girl’.
Linda will be dearly missed by her family and those who knew her: Husband- Christian Schiller, Son- Micheal, Daughter- Heather, Brother- Larry (Karen) Jenner, Sisters, Kathy Dutton, Debra (Dan) Hudnell, Cheryl (Tuck) Mitchell and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Her loss is heaven’s gain.
Funeral services for Linda will be held Friday, July 29, 2011 (10 AM) at the Boyd-Born Funeral Home with Chaplain Daniel Kiger officiating. Burial will follow at Marion Cemetery. Visitation for family and friends will be Thursday, July 28, 2011 from 4 – 8 PM at the Boyd-Born Funeral Home.
