Linda Walsh Georgetti, 77, of Minooka, passed away Monday at Geisinger Community Medical Center surrounded by her family. She is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Dominick Georgetti, with whom she recently celebrated their anniversary on September 5th.

Over the years, Linda worked in many roles, including as a clerk of records at Mercy Hospital, owner/operator of Montage Deli and various roles at Georgetti’s Garden Center, Georgetti’s Floral Shop and Georgetti’s Discount Clothing.
