Linda Helene Novack of Largo, Florida passed away on Wed. April 15, 2026, at the age of 79.

She was preceded in death by her husband Paul Novack; her parents Albert and Helen (Hamilla) Oliver; her brothers Charles and Albert Oliver and her first husband Francis Bateman.

She is survived by her son Michael (Carrie) Bateman of Chula Vista, CA; her daughter Melissa (James) Martin of Seminole; Beloved Mom-Mom to Zachary, Abigail, Sophia, Hailey, Jacob, Brooke and Brandon; and her cherished dog Zeus and cat Luna.

Linda was born and raised in Pennsylvania. As an adult she moved to Delaware where she raised her family. She was a frequent visitor to Florida to see her daughter and permanently moved there after her husband passed away in 2004. Linda loved family gatherings, traveling, concerts, movies, bingo and playing card games with her grandchildren. Being a Mom-Mom was her pride and joy! She always told the kids "Mom-Mom" loves you this much and they would run into her arms for hugs and kisses. Linda will be missed dearly but will always be remembered for having a heart of gold and how her family was always the most important thing to her in life.

In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution in honor of Linda to the Alzheimer's Association at www.alz.org or call 1-800-272-3900.

The service and burial will be held privately.
