Linda Lou Lehman, 84, of New Smyrna Beach, FL, passed away on Sunday, April 26, 2026. Linda was born June 2, 1941, in Detroit, Michigan, where she grew up with her beloved parents, Ruth and Elmer Zeeb, and treasured older brothers, Randy & Dean Zeeb.

Linda graduated from Bowling Green State University where she met Robert (Jerry) Lehman and married in 1963. They've had 62 years of marriage, taking them from Seattle to Middletown, OH to New Smyrna Beach, FL, where they've built a life of love, family, church, friendship and community.

Anyone meeting Linda would enjoy her quick wit and humor. You also knew her lifelong love of dogs, especially Airedales, and her penchant for reading and convertibles.

She spent her career as a banker in Middletown, serving and caring for thousands of people. She and Jerry are fondly remembered as MiddFest International hosts. In NSB she's remembered for caring friendships, love of knitting, work at the Library, reading, and her dedication and generosity to others.

Linda is predeceased by her parents Ruth and Elmer Zeeb of Detroit, Randy and Faye Zeeb of California, Dean and BJ Zeeb of Arizona, Mike Lehman of Middletown, OH, and multiple special friends.

She is survived by her faithful, loving husband, Jerry, nephews Marty and Chris Zeeb and their California families, sister-in-law Joyce Lehman, Katie of Thailand and Robb of Cincinnati.

Donations may be sent to SE Volusia Humane Society, 1200 S Glencoe Rd, NSB, Fl or the charity of your choice.

A small service is planned for the family in June.
