Joanne G. Linck (nee Vander May) age 82 of Green Pond passed into life eternal on Monday, October 24, 2011 at the Saint Clare’s Hospice in Dover. Her passing was quiet and peaceful while receiving the loving care of her family who were at her bedside.
She was born in Little Falls and lived her formative years there. Joanne received her formal education at the Little Falls Grammar School No. 1 and then at Passaic Valley High School graduating with the Class of 1946. She then went on to study at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, Pennsylvania where she received a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1950. She was an active participant in the Cedar Crest College select choir called the "Madrigals."
In the 1960's her family joined Dr. Freed's First Presbyterian Church of Pequannock and she was actively involved in its founding and development. She had a strong faith in God and Christ which provided support, guidance and comfort to her throughout her years.
Joanne’s most important dedication in life was being a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and sister. She simply loved her role in her family life.
She loved to watch her children/grandchildren participate in sports especially football, swimming, baseball and track and was always on the sidelines to cheer for the team. Her favorite football team was the New YorK Jets her favorite baseball team the Yankees.
She was gifted with music talents in her persona, playing the marimba in her high school orchestra, and as a vocalist performing with the Masterworks Choir at Carnegie Hall.
Joanne had a summer romance at Green Pond, NJ for six years with a handsome fellow by the name of Robert Linck. They married on January 19, 1952 and had fifty-nine years of loving and adventurous marriage. They retired to Green Pond in 1987 to be close to the lake and community she loved. Robert has said he “married the best girl in the whole world.”
Surviving to mourn this wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and sister are her husband Robert Linck; two daughters Beverly Farrand and her husband George of Green Pond, Karen Matheny and her husband Timothy of Ringoes, NJ; two sons Robert Linck and his wife Bonnie of Little Falls and Grant Linck and his wife Jayne of Riverton, Wyoming; her sister Shirley Green of Montville; ten grandchildren - Amanda, Brigham and Cole Farrand , Meghan and Catherine Linck, Adam Linck and his wife Meggan, Aimee Linck Nimo, Andy Linck and his wife Tiffany, Kenzie and Kevin Matheny.
