Linda Dianne Zigos, of Greenwood, SC passed away on January 19th at Hospice House & Palliative Care of the Piedmont. She was Born in Bellevue, Kentucky to the late Robert and Annette LaCroix.

Linda was known foremost for her love of Jesus and proclivity for serving others. She was a member of North Side Baptist Church for 28 years where she ministered to countless individuals through women's ministry, choir, nursery, and Women of Praise. Her passion was music. She played piano, wrote lyrics, and sang with church choirs at every opportunity. Her family delighted in seeing her perform in the bell choir at numerous churches.

Linda knew she wanted to be a nurse from the time she was a candy striper. After earning her nursing degree, she worked for many years in labor and delivery at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, OH, and went on to work at the Student Health Center on the campus of Denison University in Granville, Ohio. She had a gift for comforting and nurturing others.

Linda cherished time spent with family and loved to laugh. She was an avid reader and wonderful writer; many were blessed to have received one of her letters of encouragement. Linda was so appreciative of God's creativity through nature. She had an eye for details and would discover unique feathers, flowers, and leaves that brought her joy that she would share with others.

In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by a sister, Denise Lacroix.

Linda is survived by her husband of 41 years, Phil Zigos; children, David Siry (Melissa), Michael Ghali (Christine) & Julianne Bryant (Ricky); grandchildren Shannon Butts (Steven), Thomas Siry, Brenna Siry, Katie Siry, Jace Ghali, Kaia Ghali, Ty Ghali & Makayla Bryant; and great-granddaughter, Clara Butts.

Life's peaks and valleys are unavoidable. When you find yourself in either, find comfort and direction in Linda's favorite bible verse: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
