Linda Fox

Poland - Linda J. (Schirra) Fox, 71, died peacefully at home, on Saturday, August 22, 2020 after a brief illness.

Linda was born May 27, 1949, the daughter of the late Daniel and Jane Schirra.

She graduated from Penn Hills High School and Edinboro University with a Bachelor’s in education. Linda married the love of her life, Jim Fox in June 1973.
She went on to work for a Phar-Mor and later became an insurance agent for Victor Buck Insurance Agency in Hubbard. Linda was also a member of Boardman United Methodist Church.
Linda was a wonderful mother and enjoyed nothing more than watching her two sons play in various athletics contests throughout their lives. Her greatest joy, however, was her four grandchildren. She loved spending time with them at the beach and watching them grow up. She loved to brag about their successes throughout life and took pride in knowing her grandchildren were always there to lend a helping hand.

Linda leaves to cherish her memory her sons, Michael (Kristin) Fox of Poland, Dr. Christopher (Dr.Jessica) Fox of Mooresville, North Carolina and her four grandchildren, Madison, Emma, Landon, and Laiken. She also leaves behind her brother, Daniel Schirua.

Her loving husband, Jim Fox, preceded her in death December 2018.
