WARREN — Linda May Cross, 71, passed away April 9, 2021 at her daughters’ home after a brief battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family.
Linda was born at Knox Hospital in Rockland on December 5, 1949. She was the daughter of Herbert and Leona Rector. Linda grew up in Rockland, graduating from Rockland District High School in 1967. She married Robert Cross, Jr. in July 1967. They bought a home in Pleasant Gardens, close to both their parents where they lived and raised their three children before divorcing after 26 yrs of marriage.

Although wheelchair bound for more than 30 years, she never found it difficult to enjoy life and you would never hear her complaining about her MS.
