Linda I. Halvorsen 1951-2023

Linda I. Halvorsen passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 26, 2023 from a heart condition at Kearsley Homes, where she resided. Linda was born on May 28,1951 in Frankford Hospital, Philadelphia, PA to John and Sophie Halvorsen. She lived most of her early life with her family in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia. She worshiped with her family at St. George’s PE Church for many years, and was active in children’s church groups. She graduated from Richmond Elementary School, Jones Jr. High School, and Girl’s High School, all in Philadelphia. As a child, she enjoyed summer day and overnight trips with her family to Ralph Stover’s State Park in Bucks County, PA. After graduating High School, she attended Community College of Philadelphia and then Temple University, receiving a BA degree cum laude with a major in Anthropology.

After graduation, she worked for several years at a publishing company in center city Philadelphia and then in the 1980s, moved to Key West Florida where she worked cataloging artifacts recovered from the historic Spanish Treasure shipwreck Atocha. For the next thirty years, she worked in Key West, Florida in the hospitality industry in a variety of jobs from bartending to bookkeeping. She returned to Philadelphia in the early 2010s to care for her elderly father, who continued to live in the house where she grew up and who later passed away in 2017, at age 97. Linda developed an illness and transferred her residence to River’s Edge Nursing Center. She moved to Kearsley Homes in the summer of 2022.

Linda was an animal lover and has kept cats and turtles as pets. She enjoys reading books and magazines of all types, seeing movies, making museum visits and enjoying detective shows on TV. She follows current events closely through newspapers and television. She is survived by her older brother John who lives in New Jersey.
