Linda never went anywhere without her best accessory: her warm, welcoming smile. It was the smile that made her beloved among patients and coworkers at Virtua Memorial Hospital and the Women’s center in Mt. Holly, NJ, where she dedicated her career as a compassionate and skilled nurse. During the later years of her career, she was employed by the HorizonBlue Cross Blue Shield as a nurse case coordinator for the developmentally disabled, a challenging position that she loved and felt privileged to have. Linda was the kind of mother every child dreams of, and caring for Michael remained one of her greatest joys in life. She worked tirelessly to get him appropriate health care and to provide him with opportunities for personal growth. Linda enjoyed working with children and youth, teaching Sunday school classes at church and participating in scouting activities. Holidays held a special place in Linda’s heart, especially Christmas and Easter. She loved celebrating with her family, sharing in the baking activities, and wrapping gifts. Linda met the love of her life, Christopher in 1974. Their families were next door neighbors at McGuire AFB,  and sharing similar military-family backgrounds, their connection came naturally. Their 44 year marriage was built on love, devotion, and a shared sense of humor, the secret to their enduring partnership.

Linda is predeceased by her father Paul W. Blazwick Sr, her father in law Vincent Ippoliti Sr, her brother in law Vincent Ippoliti Jr, and her nephew John (Nancy) Blazewick.

She is survived by her mother Nancy Blazewick, her mother in law Mary Ippoliti, her husband Christopher, her son Michael, her siblings Paul (Janet) Blazwick Jr and Jelane Blazewick, her sister in law Theresa (John) Sousa, her nieces Karen (Thomas) Calabrese and Alexandria Sousa, her nephews Paul (Mary) Blazewick III, David (Kristen) Blazewick, along with many relatives and friends.
