Linda J. Siarkowski

Linda Jean Siarkowski went to be with the Lord on February 17th, 2026, at Henry Ford Hospital in Novi, Michigan. Born on May 23, 1950, in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, she was raised on her family’s farm in Washington Township. It was there that she learned the enduring values of hard work, resilience, and what it meant to have great faith. During this time, she met her beloved husband, Joe, with whom she shared 50 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a happy life in Almont.

Linda dedicated her life to the Lord, to her family, and friends. She worked for 45 years in banking, where she was known for her commitment and strong work ethic. Beyond her work life, she found immense joy in crafting, antiquing, visiting Shipshewana, and making treasured memories at Hubbard Lake with her loved ones.

In 2011, Linda began a courageous battle with pulmonary hypertension and atrial fibrillation. Throughout her illness, she faced each day with quiet strength and grace, continuing to show up for those she loved until her body could no longer keep pace with her determined spirit.

Linda is lovingly remembered by her husband, Joe; her children, Larry Monahan (Ginger Heil) and Tracey (Josh) Brinkman; her siblings, Gary (Kris) Bishop, Diane (Dennis) Hurless, and Ronald (Ginny) Bishop; her grandchildren, Makayla Monahan (Jason Watts), Brianna Monahan, and Avery Brinkman; and her great-grandchild, Franklin Watts. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Judy Bishop.
