Loving wife, mother, grandmother, friend, cat apologist, writer, and editor.
Linda Mallon, age 69, of Washington, D.C., loving wife, beloved mother of three, grandmother of two, friend of so many — and, we think she would want us to emphasize, fervent daughter of New Jersey — died of breast cancer May 25, at home with her husband.
She is predeceased by her parents, Paul and Helen (Ross) Mallon of Basking Ridge, N.J.; a pet cemetery’s worth of much-loved cats, who likely knocked her down with excitement upon her arrival in the hereafter; and Gordon Lightfoot.
Services will be held at National United Methodist Church, Metropolitan Memorial Campus, 3401 Nebraska Ave NW, July 15, 2023, at 2 p.m, with a reception to follow. She will be interred at Congressional Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to So Others Might Eat.
