Linda L. Mann, 73, of Port Jervis, NY, passed away unexpectedly at her home on Monday, June 8, 2026.

Born on August 11, 1952, in Paterson, NJ, Linda was the daughter of the late Thomas Mann and the late Blanche (DeGrote) Mann.

Linda's life was defined by the depth of her love for her family. She dedicated her life to the loving care of her daughter Blanche, who has special needs — a sacred role she embraced with patience, tenderness, and unwavering devotion. Her generous heart also extended well beyond her own doorstep; Linda loved children dearly and was known throughout her community as someone who would do anything to help the neighborhood kids. Many a child grew up knowing that Miss Linda's door was always open and her heart was always wide.

Linda is survived by her loving children, Blanche Mann and Clarence Mann and his wife Tanya. She was the cherished grandmother of Taylor, Lesley, Anthony, BriAnna, Michael, and Caitlyn. She is also survived by her siblings, Marilyn Powell, Joan Mann Hoyt, Edward Mann, Dolores Maria Mann, and Nora Mann; her nephew, Kenneth Mann; and many other nieces, nephews, and loving family members and friends.

Linda was predeceased by her brothers, Thomas Mann Jr., Joseph Mann, Anthony Mann, and Timothy Mann; and her sisters, Shirley Mann and Dolores Maria Powell.

Cremation arrangements entrusted to the Knight-Auchmoody Funeral Home of Port Jervis, NY.
