Linda Lou Thomas (nee: Chapman) Age 75 of Madison, OH., after a 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s passed away peacefully on January 7, 2023, at the Lantern of Madison.  Born August 4, 1947, in Chardon, OH., to the late Raymond and Norma (nee: Williams) Chapman.  She was a lifelong area resident.  Linda graduated from Chardon High School in 1965 and received her degree from Dyke College in 1966 in Cleveland, OH.

Throughout her life, her many pastimes included sewing resulting in many kids and grandkids Halloween costumes and even a beautiful homecoming dress.  She was a skilled cake baker, making beautiful birthday cakes for family and friends over the years, ending her art in 2001 with her son & daughter-in-law’s wedding cake.  She took up pottery in the 1980s making life-long lasting pieces for family and friends.  She enjoyed reading, dancing, a good glass of wine, a big bowl of ice cream, and watching her favorite team the Cleveland Indians, but more than anything she enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren.

Survived by her children Tammy McIntosh (Troy M) of Mentor, Lisa Scammahorn (Troy S) of Painesville Township, Edward Thomas (Valerie) of Painesville and Charles Thomas (Kirsten) of Painesville Township.   Grandchildren Sean McIntosh, Austen Scammahorn (Morgan), Kyle McIntosh, McKenna Thomas, Maia Thomas, Lincoln Thomas, and Lyla Thomas.  She also leaves behind three brothers Larry Chapman (Patricia) of Chardon, Jack Chapman (Charlene) of Media, PA., and Gene Chapman (Brenda) of Chardon.  In addition, many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Special thanks to the staff at The Lantern of Madison for the care and friendship they provided in her final years.

The family will receive friends from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Saturday January 14, 2023, with the funeral services to follow at the Burr Funeral Home, 116 South Street, Chardon, OH 44024.
