Linda S . Gallup, 68, of Crystal Falls, passed away unexpectedly at home on Saturday, Dec. 24, 2022, of natural causes. Linda was born July 26, 1954, in Crystal Falls, daughter of William and Doris (Fillis) Stacy. She was a member of the first class to graduate in 1972 from the new Forest Park High School facility. Following graduation, Linda began her nursing career at Bay College (Escanaba) where she received an LPN degree. She later earned RN and Management degrees at Northern Michigan University, which led to variable medical positions in Ironwood, Ishpeming and Marquette hospital systems. After 30 plus years of dedicated, compassionate medical service and leadership, Linda returned to Crystal Falls to devote time to family, church and community. She was a lifetime member of VFW Auxiliary #2891 and also an active parishioner at Guardian Angels Church, where she served as Eucharistic minister, lector and minister to the homebound. Linda, an avid Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Cubs fan, enjoyed sharing jokes, knitting, reading romance novels, spending time with family/friends and travel. She especially looked forward to seeing and spending precious time with her grandchildren. Traveling abroad and "hanging out" with Gail Brandly, her best friend, was always a highlight in Linda's life. She and her generous giving spirit will be missed. Linda is survived by her son, Shawn (Altijana) of Volo, Illinois; parents, Bill and Doris Stacy of Crystal Falls; brother, Doug (Brenda) Ishpeming; grandchildren, Shawn Robert Jr. (S.J.) and Shane Michael Gallup; several dear relatives and special friends; and former husband and mother-in-law, Robert and Fannie Gallup.
