Linda

Salm

Linda Salm (née Lombard) of New Tripoli, Pennsylvania, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and lifelong caregiver, passed away suddenly on April 14, 2025, at the age of 70.

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, and raised in Seekonk, Massachusetts, Linda dedicated her life to helping others, working for more than forty-five years as a compassionate and skilled nurse. Her patients often described her as kind-hearted and endlessly generous, qualities she also poured into her family and community. Linda was always the first to lend a hand, offer support, or simply sit with someone in need.

Linda was the daughter of Joseph and Lorraine Lombard, who preceded her in death. She is survived by her loving husband, Robert; her son, Chris, and his wife, Lauren; and her cherished granddaughter, Charlotte. She also leaves behind Kayden, Kemurry, and Kayleb who she cherished like her own grandchildren along with dozens of stepchildren, stepgrandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Her legacy of kindness, strength, and selflessness will live on in all who knew and loved her. A viewing will be held on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 from 9:30 am to 11:00 am at Emmanuel Assembly of God, 1431 Lehigh Parkway East, Allentown, Pennsylvania. A memorial and celebration of life service will follow at 11:00 am. At the conclusion of the service, a private reception will be held for invited family and friends.
