Linda Dasdorf Bloedel, age 69, of Fort Myers, Florida (formerly of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), passed away on July 19th after a difficult battle with kidney and heart disease. Beloved wife of (the late) Walter Bloedel for 42 years, and mother of (the late) Thomas Bloedel.  Cherished sister of David Dasdorf (Terry) and Susan Nystrom Wallace (Chris).  Also survived by niece Amanda Hoffman (Michael), nephew Nicholas Dasdorf and great niece Ella Hoffman.

Linda was born on January 20 ^th , 1954 to (the late) George and (the late) Glenna Dasdorf in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She graduated from Upper St Clair High School in 1972. After dedicating her life to raising her son Thomas, Linda pursued a career in the medical field, completing a two-year certification in medical assisting at ICM School of Business & Medical Careers. She landed her first Medical Assisting position at Health America where she worked for several years.  After retiring at age 47, Linda continued to work part time in gardening and retail, became a caregiver, and did volunteer work for organizations supporting military veterans (Amvets), shelters for women, and most recently for South Hills Interfaith Movement (SHIM).

Linda was a nature-lover with an amazing green thumb.  During her healthier years, if she wasn't tending to her plants and garden, she could likely be found enjoying the outdoors, reading books, snuggling with her cat, watching movies, cooking, needlepointing, piecing together jigsaw puzzles, engaging in crafts and photography, spending time with friends and family, or helping others.  She was a lover of music and the arts, had a colorful sense of humor, a kind and compassionate heart; often putting the needs of others before her own.  She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A public memorial service to be held in Pittsburgh will be announced soon.  Please stay connected to (https://baldwincremation.com/obituaries/linda-bloedel/) for further updates.

Baldwin Brothers, Fort Myers, FL is entrusted with final care.
