Linda Blum, age 57, passed away on Saturday, July 23, 2022, at Shawano ThedaCare Medical Center.
She was born on December 15, 1964, the daughter of the late Pat and Trudy (Huck) Bryne, in Waupaca. She attended Waupaca Schools. She was very intelligent, driven person and had a caring and giving heart. Linda was well read and very capable. Despite suffering many illnesses, she carried herself with grace and poise. Linda’s “sneaky” and fun sense of humor made her the memorable and attractive woman she was. She was a loving and caring mother and awesome grandmother.
In 1990 Linda’s life changed, and she changed the life of her then-future husband Tim. On June 27, 1993 Linda married Timothy Blum, in Kinzua Dam, PA. This was the start of a 29-year-long love affair. Drawing from each other Linda and Tim truly completed on another. True to Linda’s way of life, she impacted so many people at JJ Keller, for 27-plus years. She built successful relationships with many clients and was looked upon as a leader in her field. Linda uniquely employed her ability to be tough and competitive, and yet be soft and genuine.
Linda loved her pets “Grim” her rescued German Shepherd, and many birds. She loved cooking and crocheting.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband and soulmate Tim; son Daniel (Carol) Hadley; grandchildren Gavin, Rosie, and Milo.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
An Irish Wake for Linda will be held at a later date.
A memorial fund is being established.
