[MD-AtLarge] Sad News: Linda Wellman

[president at nfbmd.org]

All,

I am very sad to share that Linda Wellman passed away unexpectedly on
November 20, 2021.  Linda was a member of the Greater Baltimore Chapter and
NFBMD Seniors Division and was getting ready to begin adjustment to
blindness training at the Colorado Center for the Blind in early 2022.  A
memorial service will be held in the spring.  Please keep Linda and her
family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

 

Below is Linda's obituary.

Linda Gay Wellman

AUGUST 13, 1959 - NOVEMBER 20, 2021

Linda Wellman passed away unexpectedly at the age of 62 on November 20,
2021. Born August 13, 1959 in Columbus, Ohio, Linda was a smart and
tenacious woman  who previously spent the majority of her career as a school
psychologist with the Baltimore City Public School System.
She is preceded in death by her father Bill Wellman, and is survived by her
daughter Alyssa Wellman Houde, her sister Joanna Wellman and her wife Joanne
Gangi, her nephew Luke Gangi-Wellman, her mother Marianne Wellman, as well
as many cousins and extended family members.

Memorial services will be held by the family at a later time and donations
can be made her memory to the National Federation of the Blind
(https://nfb.org/donate).

Pronouns: she, her, hers

 

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
