Lynda V. Jordan, 77, of Woodstock, passed away peacefully on September 17, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was a kind, loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
Lynda was born on April 3, 1948, in Rochester, Minnesota, to Walter and Dionysia Haack. In 1968, she married Gerard Jordan, with whom she shared many years of happiness until his passing. Lynda found joy in the simple things in life, including craft shows, shopping, cooking, and listening to music.
