Linda K. Hineline, age 76, of Dayton, passed away on September 7, 2023. She was born in Dayton, Ohio, on February 28, 1947, the daughter of the late Harry and Irene Huff.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Barbara Harp and Margie Schoen; and brother, Nelson Huff.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 56 years, Ralph Hineline, Jr.; her loving daughters, Toni Miller and Tami (Robert Brown) Ferris; grandchildren, Ashley (Brenden) Barnette, Amber (John) Clark, Tauhnee Ferris, Calyn Wilbik and Dusty Wilbik; great grandchildren, Adelyn, Logan, Emma, Judd, Nijah, Devon, Jr., Abella and "one on the way"; and her furbaby, Peanut.
Linda retired from City of Dayton, where she was a Secretary for many years. She was a member of the Ohio Optimist Club for many years. In her free time, she enjoyed crocheting, cross-stitching, quilting, sewing, traveling (especially to the Great Smoky Mountains and Florida) and spending time with her family and friends. She had a kind and gentle spirit and had the most beautiful laugh and smile. Linda loved to make others laugh and was very creative. She will be dearly missed by everyone who knew and loved her.
A Celebration of her Life will be held at a later date by the family.
Donations may be made in her memory to VITAS Hospice, 3055 Kettering Blvd., Ste 400, Moraine, OH 45439.

"God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around you
and He whispered come with me.
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
and watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating.
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
that He only takes the best.
It's lonely here without you.
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn't seem the same
since you went away.
When days are sad and lonely,
and everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper,
Cheer up and carry on.
Each time we see your picture
you seem to smile and say,
Don't cry, I'm in God's hands.
We'll meet again some day."
