Linda Ochal's Obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Ochal, an extraordinary woman who left a remarkable mark on everyone who had the chance to know her. Linda was born on November 15, 1949, and peacefully concluded her journey here on December 14, 2025.
Linda was known for her resilient and compassionate spirit. She was a force that could be counted on, a beacon of strength for all those around her. She will be fondly remembered as a woman who extended a helping hand to anyone in need, demonstrating through her actions the power of kindness and goodwill.
One of Linda's most impactful lessons was teaching others the significance of helping those in need. This lesson, one of many she imparted, wasn't just spoken but lived out through her selfless actions. The legacy she leaves behind is a testament to the deep and lasting influence she had on her family members, friends, and community.
Linda is survived by her daughter Wendy Wass and her son Justin Jordan and sisters, Sandy, Brenda, Debbie and Penny, six grandchildren along with the rest of Linda's family and friends, will continue to cherish the memories they had with Linda. Her absence has left a void that cannot easily be filled, but her spirit continues to live on in the hearts of those she touched.
The commemoration of Linda's life will be held on January 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the John Tanner Park (Carroll County Park). The gathering will provide an opportunity to remember Linda, celebrate her life, and share stories that pay tribute to her indomitable spirit and kind heart.
While Linda's physical presence is no longer with us, her towering spirit and the lessons she imparted will continue to guide and inspire us all. Linda Ochal remains a beacon of strength and generosity for all who knew her, and she will be dearly missed.
