Linda Lou Palmer, 60, of Rolling Prairie, Indiana, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Thursday, September 24, 2026.

Linda was born on February 13, 1966, in La Porte, IN, to Winford and Barbara (Dyer) Allen.

Linda was very active in the New Prairie school community by being PTO President, helping in classrooms, and later becoming a bus driver for 14 years.

Linda coached both the women's league and little league softball. She enjoyed quoting lines from the movies and watching TV shows. Linda was the go-to person for every crafty need that had to get done from sewing anything imaginable to whipping up any floral arrangements and crocheting the biggest blankets possible.

Linda loved attending gymnastics with her grandchildren and spending every weekend with family.

Cremation has taken place with Cutler Funeral Home and Cremation Center, La Porte.

In keeping with the family's wishes, a private Celebration of Life will be held with close family and loved ones.
