Linda Kay Treadway Forsyth
Linda Kay Treadway Forsyth, 81, of Marietta, Ohio, woke up in the arms of Jesus on May 5, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was born June 29, 1943, in Marietta, Ohio, to the late Dayton and Orpha Treadway.
Linda was known as a sweet Christian woman of unwavering faith, whose life was a beautiful reflection of grace, kindness, and love. Her walk with Christ was the cornerstone of her days-faithfully attending and serving in her church community, lifting others with prayer and encouragement. She also found delight in simple pleasures: a game of Skip-Bo with dear friends, conversations with neighbors and spoiling their pets with treats.
Family was Linda’s greatest treasure. She poured her heart into nurturing, supporting, and loving her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who brought her endless joy.
