Linda’s Story

Site created on December 27, 2019

Linda Eldridge has courageously battled cancer for the past 17 months. Linda traveled to North Carolina to spend time with her family at
Christmas. Unfortunately Linda's health declined rapidly and currently Linda is in Hospice Care in Statesville, NC.  

During her treatments for cancer Linda was able to live her life independently and spend time with her family, friends, beloved piano students and her companion Ron. Linda, a classicly trained professional pianist, continued to participate and play in many of her favorite events including the Melodrama at the Camino Real Playhouse in San Juan Capistrano, events for singer Gino Gaudio, the Showcase Singers, and most recently her family and friends Christmas dinner in Cailfornia. As an accomplished pilot and member of the women's flying club, the Ninety Nines, Linda recently had a flight with the gracious help of some of her Ninety Nine friends.


Linda is currently at
Gordons Hospice House
2341 Simonton Rd.
Statesville, NC 28625
Room 10
