Obituary
FITCHBURG - Linda Rae Chiono, age 73, of Madison, passed into the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sunday, Aug. 9, 2020. She was born in Duluth, Minn., on July 24, 1947, to Al and Jeanette (Rinnan) Rydstrom, and lived in the Madison area since 1954. She graduated from Madison East High School in 1965, and married Bob Chiono in 1967.
Linda very much enjoyed working at Friends of WHA for two years in the early 1980's and as office manager at Child Evangelism Fellowship in Madison from 2003-2008. She loved working with children and taught children's Christian education on a volunteer basis for most of her adult life. She loved doing things for others just to see them smile or to brighten their day.
Linda is survived by her husband, Bob; daughter, Kayleigh; sister, Lori (Gary) Gibson; and many dear friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her beloved daughter-in-law, Stephanie Chiono.
A private Funeral Service will be held. A public outdoor visitation will be held at GUNDERSON FITCHBURG FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 2950 Chapel Valley Road, Fitchburg, from 12 p.m. until 1 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020. Face masks and social distancing will be required.

The Eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms
- Deuteronomy 33:27
My Sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
- John 10:27-29
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord
- Romans 8:38-39

Roger and Sandy would like to extend our sympathy to Bob and Kayleigh, and Linda's sister Lori. We shared some fun times with Bob and Linda in the past, and enjoyed our friendship. Our time spent with each other was limited by our distance but our friendship over the years has been precious and I loved talking to Linda on the phone and hearing her laughter. We wanted more time as all of you wanted but thankful for the time we had. Know that you are all in our Prayers at this time. Some day we will have our friendship restored in heaven.
Your friends Roger and Sandy Miller
