Linda Lee Nolker

Linda L. Nolker, 77, of Verona, formerly of West Deer Township, died March 6, 2026 at Hillcrest Rehabilitation and Health Center, Lower Burrell. She was born December 26, 1948 in Natrona Heights, growing up in West Deer, and graduating from West Deer High School in 1966. Following high school, she attended California University of Pennsylvania (PennWest California). Linda worked for over 20 years at the Kmart retail store in Leechburg as the store office manager. She was an incredibly talented seamstress, making clothing for many members of her family, including an elaborate wedding dress for her niece. She also enjoyed music, crocheting, and playing cards, though her greatest love was her family, especially her granddaughter.

Survivors include her daughter, Aimee Joi (James) Tonn; her cherished granddaughter, Esmee L. Tonn; and her sisters, Cornelia Sucky of Seville, OH, and Vanessa Fischer of Frazer, along with Vanessa’s husband, Ernie Fischer, whom Linda affectionately called her “Hon-in-Law.”

She was preceded in death by her mother Blanche C. (Schultz) Veltri.
