Linda Jean Fiore died peacefully March 21, 2019 with her friends and family by her side after a courageous battle with frontotemporal dementia.

She was born in Belleville, IL on October 2, 1961. She is survived by her beloved wife of 32 years, Cynthia, her parents Salvatore & Joann (Bieser) Fiore, Belleville, IL, brother Mark Fiore (Barb) Columbia, IL,  sister Diann Taylor (Michael), Chanhassen, MN, sister Karen Hollansworth, Belleville, IL, and 10 nieces and nephews, Anna Fiore, Nicholas Fiore, Christopher Taylor, Sarah Taylor, Nathan Taylor, Daniel Taylor, Jacob Taylor, Claire Hollansworth, Michael Hickman and Jessica Hickman.

Linda was an administrative assistant working many years at Mercantile Bank, St. Louis, MO and Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School, St. Louis, MO before retiring from Edwardsville Sr. High School, Edwardsville, Il in 2015. She was a member of the Edwardsville Federation of Secretarial Employees Local 4855 and a volunteer at Anna Henry nursing home and Edwardsville Care Center.

Linda was a lover of life. She enjoyed traveling, gardening, genealogy, entertaining in her home, dancing, cooking/baking, camping, hiking, exercise and spending time with family. She faced her battle with Frontotemporal Dementia with amazing strength and grace and was an inspiration to all of us who loved her so very much.  Her radiant smile was her trademark and will be missed by everyone.
