LINDA JEAN ADKIN

Linda Jean Adkin, 66, of Alpena, passed away on Dec. 2, 2019.

Linda was born April 24, 1953 in Alpena to Joseph and Janet (Diemond) Gapczynski. She was a graduate of Alpena High School class of 1971. Linda enjoyed creating and donating gift arrangements, decorating, and cooking. She was a diehard gardener and was always planting seeds with bountiful plants outside and inside her home. Linda enjoyed people, always helping, sharing and giving back to others. Her favorite companions were faithful rescued dogs; Harry Truman and Koda. She will be remembered for her friendliness and entertaining sense of humor. Linda’s journey was worldwide as a travel agent experiencing many blessings and successes. Her life was like boarding an airplane, a boat or a train experiencing the ups and downs. She grew tired, weary and bored and at some point, decided to depart her long journey on earth, peacefully reuniting with all those who have gone before her.

Linda is survived by her siblings Bill (Greta) Gappy and Lois (Bill) Taracks, five nephews, one niece, five great-nephews and seven great-nieces. She was preceded in death by both parents, and three siblings, Susan McGeorge, Katherine Gappy and Robert Gappy. A graveside service will be held at Evergreen Cemetery this summer and will be announced by McWilliams Funeral Home in a future edition of The News.
