Linda Joan McKowan, 70, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 18, 2017 at her daughter and son-in-law’s home in Cornelius, North Carolina.

Linda worked faithfully at her husband’s TV repair enterprise and as a stay-at-home mother, eventually receiving employment at Ingram Micro after his death in 2002.

She moved with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson to North Carolina one week ago.
She is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Hurley Jackmore (Mark); her son, Daniel McKowan (Kelli); her brother, Edward Greishaw; her grandson, Declan; her stepchildren, Dennis and Linda; six step-grandchildren; caring friends; and a large, loving clan.
