Linda BlackLinda Gail (McGlauchlen)

Black, 58, of rural Rockport, joined our heavenly father Monday morning, Aug. 3, 2015 at her home surrounded by her family after a year-long battle with cancer.

Linda was born April 22, 1957 in Memphis, Tenn., a daughter of Delbert “Mac” and Edna (Harris) McGlauchlen.

She married Dale Black on March 8, 1992 at the First Presbyterian Church in Quincy.

Linda was a gradu-ate of Quincy Senior High School. She attended Western Illinois University in Macomb and received her bachelor’s degree from Quincy University.

Linda was hard work-ing and wore many hats in her lifetime. Many who knew her well can recall fondly upon their memo-ries of her dedication and service at the Lighthouse Inn. Recently, when she retired from being the chief financial officer for Black Construction in Rockport, she and Dale enjoyed win-tering in the Texas Gulf Coast area in their RV. She loved being near the water and spending time on the beach. Throughout their adventures in life, she made world-wide friends, rarely met a stranger and could strike up a conversation with anyone. Her great-est joys were her family. She was a proud mother, a wonderful wife, an amaz-ing daughter, a second mother to her siblings, and a joyful friend to many. She loved traveling, camp-ing, entertaining and help-ing grow their chestnut business. She served on the board of directors for the Chestnut Association. They hosted the national conven-tion a couple of years ago and ever since then, her smoked salmon with dill weed sauce is served at every convention.

Linda was a mem-ber of the First Christian Church in Pittsfield. Even during trying times, she never lost faith and always believed in our good Lord and had confidence in the

care she received at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Tulsa, Okla.

Survivors include her husband, Dale Black of rural Rockport; her moth-er, Edna McGlauchlen of Quincy; a son, Michael Black of Pleasant Hill; two daughters, Leslie Black and her husband, Marco Sedda of San Diego, Calif., and Kristin Rhodes and her friend, Ben Ramsey of Kansas City, Kan.; two grandchildren, Samantha Black and Nicholas Black, both of Pleasant Hill; two brothers, Mark (wife, Kiley) McGlauchlen of Quincy and Marty McGlauchlen of Pittsfield; a sister, Brenda McGlauchlen and her friend, Linda Ahern of Springfield; a niece and nephew, Taylor and Tyler McGlauchlen, both of Quincy; an uncle and aunt, Tom and Verna Harris of Muskegon, Mich.; and three sisters-in-law, Evelyn Black of Pleasant Hill, Ilah Higgins of Ottawa and and Melanie Padavic of Quincy.

Linda was preceded in death by her father, Delbert “Mac” McGlauchlen.

Funeral services were held Thursday, Aug. 6, 2015 at 10 a.m. at the First Christian Church in Pittsfield conducted by Michael Ten Eyck. Burial followed at the Samuel Taylor Cemetery near Rockport.

Visitation was held Wednesday evening from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the Lummis Funeral Home in Pleasant Hill.

Memorials may be made to the First Christian Church in Pittsfield or to the Samuel Taylor Cemetery.
