Linda H. Leach-Laskowski January 7, 1949 – September 14, 2022 Linda Leach-Laskowski, 73, went to her eternal home peacefully on Wednesday, September 14th, 2022. Linda Nell was born in Olive Branch, Mississippi and was the first child of Basil and Lura Haptonstall. Linda's father was a career military man serving in the United States Navy which resulted in Linda, as a child, having lived in Norfolk VA, San Diego CA, Kosciusko MS, and even Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. As an adult Linda worked in the transportation sector as an Airline Flight Attendant for a major U.S. airline, in the Broadcast Radio and Television Advertising industry, and in Marketing as a Consumer Products Evaluator. Linda will always be remembered for her big broad smile, her brassy wit, her irresistible sense of humor and seemingly endless, infectious laughter. Linda Nell will be sorely missed.

Linda was preceded by her parents and survived by her husband, Ed Laskowski of Altamonte Springs, FL; daughters Sally Malinowicz of Dunedin, FL and Kati Edge of Mount Juliet, TN; grandchildren Julia Malinowicz, Jackson Edge, and Lorin Edge; and brother Carl Haptonstall of Olive Branch, MS, as well as numerous cousins, loved ones and close friends.

In lieu of flowers, it was Linda's wish that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN
