Linda Leigh Meade

December 5, 1964 - August 27, 2020

ADRIAN- Linda Leigh Meade, 55, passed away from cancer on August 27, 2020, at the Hospice of Lenawee in Adrian, Michigan, with her partner of 22 years, Cynthia K. Miller, by her side. Linda was born in Georgetown, Ohio, to Denton E. and Lottie Jo Meade on December 5, 1964. She graduated from North Adams High School and earned her Bachelors in Information Systems from Northern Kentucky University. Linda was a beautiful, strong, and loving woman who lived life on her own terms. She was sensitive to the suffering of others and worked tirelessly to support those in need. Linda loved everyone she met, especially babies of all kinds. She lived for cuddles, hugs, and laughter with little ones. She had a deep love of family. Discovering new tearooms with her sister; game nights at her brothers’ homes; and attending the extra-curricular activities of her many nieces and nephews were highlights in her life. Her faith was unshakable and she was thankful for her church family at First Christian Church Disciples in Christ, Adrian. Linda was an avid reader, enjoyed dabbling in various crafts, and traveling the country. She recently fulfilled a lifelong dream of visiting an elephant sanctuary and spent time with Lou, one of the resident “ellies.” In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by her nephew Nathan Daniel Meade. She is survived by her partner, Cynthia; aunt, Lorayne Armstrong of Elyria, OH; aunt, Margaret Hopkins of Manville, OH; sister, Karyn Evans (Lonnie) of Leesburg, OH; brothers Jim Meade (Patti) of Greenville, OH; Mike Meade (Lestel) of Fort Collins, CO; Ed Meade (Kathy) of Peebles, OH; and Rob Meade (Christa) of Seaman, OH, along with many beloved nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and great great nephews. When leaving someone, Linda always said, “I’m a hugger!” as she wrapped you in her arms. With that in mind, a memorial for friends and family will be announced at a later date when it is safe to celebrate her life with a hug. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to one of the following: Hospice of Lenawee County, your local Food Pantry, or your local Humane Society in honor of Toby and Maureen, her beloved fur babies. Arrangements have been entrusted to Wagley Funeral Home, Adrian, where online memories and condolences may be shared at www.WagleyFuneralHomes.com.
