Linda Wardlow Obituary
Born: September 14, 1949 in Cicero, IL
Died: August 28, 2023 in Downers Grove, IL
Linda Louise Wardlow (Palleva) passed away peacefully August 28, 2023 surrounded by her loving family. She was 73 years old.
Linda grew up in Cicero, Il and attended Northern Illinois University. She lived the majority of her life in the Downers Grove area, where she enjoyed supporting her children and grandchildrens sports teams over the last 40 years. She loved her family fiercely, and fought a courageous nine year battle with cancer in an effort to spend more time with them. She will be remembered as a proud Nonni, who was at her happiest when spending time with her family. Sunday celebrations will not be the same without her.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents Louis and Rena Palleva, and sister Donna Fitzgerald. She is survived by her loving children: Son Brian Wardlow (Patty), daughters Lisa (Marian) Honek and Laura (Joel) Spencer, and her adoring grandchildren Brock, Drew, Mia, Anthony, Logan and Luke. A private memorial will take place at a later date.
