WAUNAKEE - Linda Ann Roe, age 80, of Waunakee, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 25, 2025, at St. Mary's Hospital. She was born on April 19, 1945, in Eau Claire, the daughter of Benjamin and Winnifred (Patitz) Domer.
Linda graduated from Eau Claire Memorial High School and from UW-Eau Claire with a teaching degree in 1967. She was united in marriage to the love of her life, Peter Roe, in Eau Claire on June 10, 1967. She taught in Eau Claire for three years and after moving to Madison, she became a beloved teacher at La Follette High School for several years before becoming a stay-at-home mother, helping Peter run several business endeavors and bookkeeping for her sons’ business.
She was a member of Lake Edge United Church of Christ for many years. Linda volunteered in her children’s classrooms, at school functions, at church, for Meals on Wheels and Second Harvest Food Bank. She was a strong woman who never complained, always had a smile on her face, and helped others any way she could. She also loved spending time with her many friends and easily connected with everyone she met.
Linda enjoyed baking, cooking, playing bridge, golfing, traveling with her family and later in life taking many trips with Peter. She was an avid reader, enjoyed going to movies with her husband, and loved watching sports, especially the Badgers. The greatest joy of her life was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Linda rarely missed her grandchildren’s sports and activities.
