YORKTOWN - Linda Fisher Rose was born February 21, 1945 in Portsmouth, Virginia and passed away on April 8, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Linda was a graduate of Cradock High School and Old Dominion University. She was a gifted registered nurse, having received recognition as Virginia Public Health Nurse of the year. Caregiving was her passion and she was always ready and willing to help others. Linda was a faithful member and volunteer of Northside Christian Church. Her favorite hobbies included tennis, golf, travel, and the beach, but she cherished spending time with her family most of all.
