Linda C. Discher

Linda C. Discher, 80, passed into the arms of her Lord and Savior on June 13, 2020, surrounded by her loving husband and children. Born November 26, 1939, she was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Harold and Avis (Bergquist) Brown, and her precious granddaughter, Rachel C. Rosmanitz.

A longtime resident of Arlington Heights, she is survived by her adoring husband, Richard, to whom she was married 61 years. She is also survived by her three children and six grandchildren: Gregory (Jan) Discher (Michelle and Michael), Mark (Amy) Discher (Nicholas, David, and Mary Claire), and Lisa (Bill) Olson (Rebecca).

Linda was a member of the The Orchard Evangelical Free Church of Arlington Heights for more than 50 years, serving faithfully in the children’s, women’s, and administrative ministries for many years.

A faithful, devoted wife and mother, Linda loved the Lord and her family more than anything in this world. She had a vibrant, bubbly, and magnetic personality, and made friends with anyone who crossed her path. A gifted conversationist, Linda’s positivity, humor, and enthusiasm spilled over to all who knew her. Linda was meticulous, energetic, and gave her full effort in whatever she did. She loved creating her beautiful garden, a beautiful home for her family, and most of all, caring for her husband and best friend in life, Richard.

Linda will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Until they meet again, her family holds tight to the promise of one day being reunited with her in heaven (1 Thess. 4:13-18). A memorial service celebrating Linda’s life will be held at a later date.
