Obituary: Linda Melnick Weiner - Atlanta Jewish Times

Linda Melnick Weiner passed away on Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, as a result of natural causes. Linda was deeply devoted to her family, friends, and community. She was a champion for students in the Fulton County Schools System, fighting to provide the best academic environment for all students.

Linda was an artist at heart. She loved music and the performing arts and loved nothing more than attending local or Broadway shows. In her later years, she took an active interest in creating mosaic artwork. The oldest of five siblings and a caregiver by nature, Linda spent most of her adult years raising her three children, caring for her parents through lengthy illnesses and as caregiver for her husband, Barry as he battled, and defeated, leukemia twice. Linda spent the last several years of her life in the loving care of the staff at Lyngblomsten Care Center in St. Paul, MN.

The daughter of Ruth and William Melnick, Linda is survived by her daughter, PJ (Adam), sons, Joe (Clare) and Dan (Amanda), grandsons, Cosby, Nathaniel, Jonathan and Bailey: sister, Bryna, brothers, Ike and Louis, and brother-in law, Steve (Diane). She is preceded in death by her husband, Barry, and sister, Sally.

A graveside service was held Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024, at Greenwood Cemetery 1173 Cascade Circle SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30311. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Linda’s memory to the Lyngblomsten Foundation. Arrangements by Dressler’s Jewish Funeral Care, 770-451-4999.
