In Memory

Linda Kinlaw - Class Of 1961

Linda Kinlaw

    Linda was living in Novelty, Ohio when she passed away.  We don't have any details regarding her passing.  We do know she married Rick Boswell right out of college and that the marriage ended after seven years.

On tests, Linda was another person who helped to raise the curve.   I also remember that she was easy to make laugh.  Because of our last names, she often sat in front of me and I could entertain her with my stupid jokes.  Her quite and reserved first impression would later change to a more outgoing fun personality.  She'll be missed.

Linda was my mom. She was a smart, occasionally sarcastic, big-hearted woman who was always quick to smile and never failed to see the best in others. She had a soft spot for stray animals of all forms; over the years she took in injured and abandoned cats, dogs, rabbits, and even a peahen and its chicks.

She was a mother to four children-- me, my sister Ryan and two brothers, Drew and Craig. She was married twice, first to Rick Boswell '61 (whose sister, Gail, was also her dear friend) and later to my father, who loved her dearly and remained by her side until her death.

Mom should have been a great many things-- a writer, a counselor, an activist, an athlete. She was still a great many things to the people who loved her and knew her best. I appreciate each of the immeasurable gifts she planted in my heart as they appear and unfold over time. I see her there, and am glad.

Linda Ann Kinlaw died on November 25, 2005 due to complications related to alcoholism. I miss her every day.  

Any stories, photos and memories of her are most welcome.
