Linda Gail Rhoads

Linda Gail (Dickey) Rhoads, 71, of Charlotte, passed away peacefully on Monday, September 15, 2025.

Linda is survived by her husband, Ronald Rhoads, of Charlotte; son and daughter-in-law Jeff and Janine Rhoads, of Niles; sisters: Donna (Rick) Schaner of Pentwater, Paula Damkoehler of Lansing, and Dawn Dickey of Charlotte; sister-in-law, Ruth (Howard) Sellick of Harrow, Ontario; many loved nieces and nephews; and her grandsons, Jonathan and Joseph, who made her laugh frequently and smile even on the most challenging days.

She was preceded in death by her father, Irvin Dickey; mother, Stella Dickey; and brothers, Dan LeClair and Alan Dickey.

Linda was an avid seamstress and quilter, and a frequent contributor of doll clothes to local charitable causes. For many years she was also an avid genealogist, which makes it essential that this obituary be accurate. For many years, Linda was an active member of the Lawrence Avenue United Methodist Church. Though most fondly remembered as a wife and mother, she also served as the co-owner of a local retail store, The Bargain Hut, for many years.

At her request, Linda will be interred at Maple Hill Cemetery in Charlotte, following a private service on Thursday, September 25, 2025. 

The family would kindly request that in lieu of flowers, that you spend some additional time with your own family sharing the good news of the Lord, who guided her life and offered her and her family so much solace in her last hours. We know she now resides in a better place.
