Cremation Rites have been requested, and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Vandemore Funeral Home – Atkinson Chapel will be assisting the family with arrangements. Memorials may be directed to Linda’s daughter, Mindy Moreland, in care of the funeral home.
Linda was born on September 12, 1955, in Moline, Illinois, the daughter of Floyd and Lois (Fausett) Thompson. She graduated from Rock Island High School with the class of 1974. For more than 25 years, she served as a school bus driver at Pink’s Bus Service in Geneseo. Linda took great pleasure in crocheting, especially creating items for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild. She cherished her family deeply; a circle of love that also embraced the many school bus children she cared for throughout her career.
Those left to cherish her memory include her children, Mindy (Nick Anderson) Moreland of Atkinson, IL, and Tom Baele of Green Bay, WI; grandchildren, Joey Olson, Kailyn Waite, Ravin Morey, Dylan Bell, Brittany Adams, and Jordan Wunderlich; great-grandchild, Winslie Adams; and sisters, Marty (Danny) Morrow of Rock Island, IL, and Cindy Ostrom of Rock Island, IL.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Floyd and Lois Thompson; daughter, Theresa Thompson; granddaughter, Ashley Wunderlich; and brother, Butch Thompson.
