Linda Monroe

Linda E. (Breen) Monroe, age 69, of Grandville, passed away in the early hours of Sunday, June 2, 2019.  Linda was the matriarch and guiding light of her family. Her passion and intellect has always driven and inspired us to achieve things we didn’t know we could. She fiercely loved her family and had a passion for people, gardening, and animals. We will all miss her spirit, guidance, and strength. Linda spent over 40 years trying to help others in their moment of need while working for Blodgett, and then Spectrum, in the blood bank. She was a truly incredible and inspirational woman that will be greatly missed.  Those who have been blessed by her presence are better because of it. We will all miss her! She was preceded in death by her parents, Lyle and Hazel Breen.  She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 46 years, George Monroe; children, Eric and Kirstyn Monroe, Stacey Monroe (Chad); brother, Lyle Jr. and Judy Breen; sister; Darlene and Don Hollerback; and many nieces and nephews.  Relatives and friends may meet the family during a memorial visitation on Thursday, June 6, 2019, from 4-7 p.m. in the Memories Room at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW.  Interment will be held at Fort Custer National Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the cancer charity of your choice.
