I am saddened to hear of cousin Linda Rollow Seidensticker’s passing. Although I haven’t seen her in years, I remember well being together many times in our childhood in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. It pleases me to know that we were sisters in Beta Sigma Phi, and, like Nancy, many of my lifelong friends are from that group.
Sending heartfelt condolences to all of her family, I will be with you in spirit for the memorial service on Tuesday. Many blessings.
Linda befriended me when I first started attending St Paul’s. She asked me to join her for lunch. We then were in the first dinner groups hosted in homes. She was always friendly, outgoing and helpful. Many miss her.
Condolences to family and friends.
Your Mom was always delightful to be around. We shared the same neighborhood growing up and never lacked for something fun to do. We will miss her tremendously. I’m planning to be at her funeral and would love to share a few stories about our adventures. My heart goes out to you and your families.
Linda was a dear friend to me, my family, and so many friends. She was always smiling and full of fun. I will always remember the great Friday night drop-in dances at the Presbyterian Church in Bentonville. Linda provided most if the records. She loved music and was a great dancer. We so enjoyed living in Fayetteville for ten years and were able to get together for games and dinner. The world will not be the same. Love to each member of her family and many friends.

Linda was a bright light wherever she was! Always remember her working in her dad’s office! I will miss Linda.. Love and hugs to her family.
Sorry for your loss, may there blessings for family.
Linda was certainly one of a kind. I had the privilege of working with her at the Walmart corporate office for many years. It makes me giggle as I write of her as we tended to giggle a lot! Such a kind, easy and compassionate person to be around. I’m affiliated with some of her college friends and they think so much of her. She will truly be missed. Jeffrey and family, please remember we will see her again one day. Prayers for all.
Linda was an always a ray of light wherever she was. She was a good friend and I am so glad I was able to be a part of her life. We will all remember her laugh and love if life.
As a childhood friend, Linda was the leader in joy and love. My husband, Jim, who passed away, considered Linda as such a delightful neighbor who brought so many smiles to our faces. May God bless this family with love.
We are sorry for your loss. The whole Ricketts family always had fun, positive experiences with the Rollow family. Linda did have an infectious laugh and twinkle in her eye. Condolences for the family.
We all are going to miss Linda. A good friend through all these years. That is the way it is supposed to be.
We will remember and miss you very much, Linda
We are so sorry for your loss. Linda was such a cheerful and bright person and I know how greatly she will be missed.
