Linda Irene Linger

She was born on February 2, 1962, in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, to the late Kenneth and Carolyn Wagner. Linda grew up in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, and Radford, Virginia, before moving to Front Royal and graduating from Warren County High School in 1980.

For many years, she was co-owner, director, and teacher at Grasshopper Green Preschool in Strasburg, Virginia. She most recently worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. However, her greatest joy was being a mom to her children and “Nana” to her grandchildren.

Four children survive her, Brian Linger (Jennifer) of Harrisonburg, Virginia, Heather Wilson (Drew) of Danville, Virginia, Amanda Bass (Nick) of Front Royal, and Kevin Linger (Julia) of Chapel Hill, North Carolina; nine grandchildren, Caroline, Avery, Patrick, Everly, Conor, Madelyn, Annie, Marjorie, and Evelyn; brother Richard (Louisa) of West Chester Township, Ohio and two sisters Barbara Koerner (Peter) of Staunton, Virginia, and Susan DeHart (Tony) of Radford.

A celebration of life will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, November 16, 2025, at Maddox Funeral Home, 105 West Main Street, Front Royal. The family will receive friends one hour before the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Humane Society of Warren County, Virginia.
