Linda wsa such a special person. Not only was she amazingly competent and made the lives easier for all in the Department of Psychology, but she also was such a kind, good, and warm person. Often the highlight of my day at work was dropping into the office to chat with Linda for a bit. She always made me laugh and was a wise person and kind person. I loved making her jewelry because she took joy in small pleasures (such as these gifts). I miss her very much and the department will not be the same without her there.
I met Linda when I came to work at the Prevention Center, and eventually became her direct report after some restructuring of the Center. After a life time in the work force, I have to say that it is my profound feeling that Linda Harris was the perfect model of what a supervisor ought to be in the work place. She possessed just the right degree of professional leadership and humanity to make all her direct reports successful in each of our respective positions.
I attended the Memorial Service for Linda, and what a beautiful tribute to her in all the remembrance accounts shared that day, and having known Linda for the short 6 years that I worked under her supervision, every one of the accounts and characterizations of Linda couldn’t have been expressed or articulated any better.
Linda was a great and wonderful person, and I’m sadden that she will not be around in person to see her sons into adulthood, but know that she will live on forever in our minds and souls.
I only knew Linda for a short period of time. I recall meeting with her for the first time. She welcomed me and made me feel at home. I knew she would be an awesome boss and I looked forward to being part of a close knit family here in Psychology. I feel fortunate to have known such a wonderful caring person. You will be greatly missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. P.S. I am glad I inspired you to dress up. I love the new pink dress you bought!
Linda you are and always will be my angel! I miss you so much and love you with all my heart. I hold on to His promise that we'll be together again one fine day.
I remember the first time I met Linda. We had a picnic at Pomeroy. Danny and David had become friends, but she and I had yet to meet. We sat and talked that night for about 4 hours straight and instantly clicked. Although we were never able to get together as much as we would have liked, we always enjoyed our time together. What a great lady, she will be greatly missed. I still have a pic in my head of her coming to our house on Sundays to rock baby Matthew, while having her hot flashes. We always laughed, I would turn down the ac before she came so she would be comfortable. She loved her Matthew time and loved spending time just holding him. She left this earth way too soon, but joins her dad. She will be greatly missed by so many people. Hey Linda, send down that recipe for the potatoes, ok?
Linda, we became instant friends the moment we met, then we became sisters and I could not have asked for a better sister/friend. I will treasure all the memories and you will live on in my heart forever. Love you Sister !
For twenty years of my life my mom was my rock, her love was never ending. Sadly she passed but her love and legacy will continue forever. She touched so many people and I am one proud son. Love you mom!
After four years of marriage we were so happy to be able to adopt such a beautiful baby girl Linda in 1958. Linda's father Ken would not let go of Linda and she and he always had such an incredible bond. I miss you and love you always.
I lit a candle for Linda and relatives for you all to shine brightly together and forever. May you take comfort in knowing there is one more Angel above us. Michelle
