Anyone who knew Linda Kuspa knew that she was a force to be reckoned with. She was a pillar of strength for anyone in her life, and someone who could be counted on. She was straightforward, no-nonsense, and steadfast. On top of that, she was intelligent and had a great sense of humor.

Linda loved like she lived: fiercely and wholeheartedly. She was married to Walter for 39 years. They have two sons, William (39) and James (32). Linda's sons have grown up to have all her best qualities including her strength, loyalty, and compassion.

After working for Dearborn Public Schools for many years, Linda retired in 2015 in order to enjoy the finer things in life. For her, this meant doing everything she loved - quilting, crafting, gardening, yard saling, and spending time with her friend of many years, Bobbie Hammond, and her younger sister, Kathy Kovach.

Linda is survived by her mother, Gloria Rowland. She is also survived by her siblings: Kathy Kovach, Cheryl Boudreau, John Rowland, Jean Landreville, Scott Rowland, Laura Rowland, Richard Rowland and Bridget Jarvis, as well as many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her father, John Rowland and her sister, Marian Rowland.

To know, love, and be loved by Linda was to be lucky.
