The loss of Linda Manross is a loss for OCT and for the entire community.

But the loss goes beyond being a former Board member and avid supporter. Linda had qualities that few possess.

Beyond her years as a former Board member and avid supporter, Linda possessed qualities that few truly do. She combined strength with kindness, showing unwavering support for anyone who needed her, while always knowing how to help without ever being overbearing.

This rare combination of strength, kindness, and compassion will remain an enduring example of who we should all strive to be.

Our heart felt condolences go out to her family. Rest in peace, Linda—your memory will always be a blessing. ❤️
