Linda Malaine VanCauwenbergh

Linda Melaine VanCauwenbergh, 69, Oklahoma City went to be with the Lord on March 27th, 2016. She was born in Jamestown, North Dakota on August 25th, 1946.  She moved to northern New Jersey in her teens along with her 2 siblings.  She received a traditional high school education but the education that would supersede her would be one from the school of hard knocks. She became a young mother of two boys - Scott and Steven VanCauwenbergh. She did anything she could to provide for them on her own, often working more than one job for the majority of her life to provide for her family.  Linda passed on her personal philosophy to her children to live a life of integrity and hard work. Her later years were faced with a great deal of opposition which she met with determination and a strong will to continue to live life fully. You could find her on many occasions laughing while baking in the kitchen. In fact she displayed her love for others through the wonderful dishes she would prepare. Her humor and outlook on life was one that will be especially missed.
