Linda Marie (Nussbaumer) Allen was called home to our Lord and Savior, whom she dearly loved, on February 21, 2026. Linda was born in Massillon, Ohio on New Year’s Day, 1948, to Bernard J. and Mary C. (Boerner) Nussbaumer. She is now reunited with her parents, sisters Helen F. Wagner, Mary C. Chambers (Max), Shirlie A. Dixon (Dick), brother Joseph B. Nussbaumer (Jean), and several nieces and nephews.

Linda attended grade school at St. Barbara Catholic Church (Massillon) and graduated from Central Catholic (Canton) High School. After graduation, she worked as a secretary and salesclerk for businesses in the Massillon area. She also worked as a travel agent for a travel agency in Canton.
