Linda Diana Rowe

Linda Diana Rowe, age 69, of Sylvania, Ohio, passed away January 28, 2024, in the comfort of her home surrounded by her husband and children. Linda was born March 19, 1954, in Toledo, Ohio, to the late Charles and Eunice (Thomas) Bateson.

In her earlier years, Linda worked as a waitress at Cyphers, where she met Larrie, whom she ended up marrying and together had four beautiful children. She enjoyed working for many years at Timbos, where she loved meeting new people and seeing the regulars.

Linda was a wonderful wife and mother, always caring for the home and cooking delicious meals for her family grown in her garden. She loved anything regarding nature; looking at the hummingbirds, gardening, caring for her flower beds, fishing, and was even obsessed with killing bugs. Linda had a fascination with UFOS, aliens, and the infamous Sasquatch.

Her stubbornness, smile, love, and hearing "Bug Dat!", will forever be missed by those who knew her. Linda had a wonderful sense of humor and she loved making others' laugh.

Those left to forever cherish her memory are her loving husband, Larrie Rowe, whom she married on April 11, 1975; four children, Barney (Leah) Rowe, Alan Rowe, Tanya (Shawn) Kelley, and Elaina (Erik) Kenney; grandchildren, Emma, Gage, Alexis, Gavin, Savanah, Jayla, Erik Jr., Jack, Avery, Riley, and grand-pup, Benelli; great grandson, Legend; siblings, Karen (Kevin) Gilford, Steve (Sandy) Bateson, and Doug Bateson; and numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by her two brothers, Mike Bateson and Charles "Pat" Bateson; and two nephews, Brian Gilford and Matt Bateson.

A private service for the immediate family will take place.
