It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Linda Jean Dugas, age 73, on October 16, 2024. Born on January 7, 1951, she was the adoring and steadfast wife of Daniel Dugas, proud mother of Tom (Amy Lukasik) Rubeo and Gina (Erik) Tenglin, and cherished grandmother to her three granddaughters, Elise, Mena, and Liliana, who brought her immense joy. Linda was the beloved daughter of Harry and Arlyne Goll and is survived by her loving siblings, Dona (Gary) Zielinski, Bruce and Steve Goll. Linda spent most of her life as a resident of Park Ridge, IL but enjoyed traveling with her husband Dan and spending time at their home in Galena, IL. She was a passionate reader, puzzle enthusiast, and avid gardener, but Linda found true happiness when spending time with others. She very much enjoyed hosting family and friends throughout the year, especially during Thanksgiving, creating lasting memories filled with laughter and love. Linda's warmth, kindness, generosity, and vibrant spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her. A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, October 23rd from 3-8 pm at Cooney Funeral Home in Park Ridge, IL. Linda was a lifelong dog mom and cared deeply for each dog she adopted. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a canine charity or dog rescue organization of your choice.
