Linda Joan (Miller) Armstrong was born April 15, 1949, in Waterbury, Connecticut to Leonard and Mary (Pace) Miller. She died peacefully March 25, 2010 at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights.
After graduating from John F. Kennedy High School in Waterbury, Connecticut, Linda worked as an executive secretary and a dance instructor for Arthur Murray. She later married and moved to Illinois. Linda retired from Adlai E. Stevenson High School in 2009 after serving as a valued support staff member for over 20 years primarily in the Communication Arts division and most recently in the Testing Center.
As a giving, warm-hearted woman, Linda volunteered at various homeless shelters and with her Homeowner’s Association. She enjoyed cooking, entertaining, gardening, reading and tending to her poodle, PJ. Her greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren.
