Linda Covolo Wimmer, 82, of Floyd, Virginia, peacefully passed away surrounded by her loving family on July 12, 2026.

Born on March 17, 1944, in Washington, D.C., Linda was the daughter of the late Giovanni Battista Covolo and Edith Campbell Covolo Dodson. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard Wimmer; her brothers, Ray Campbell and Robert Covolo; and her grandson, Gavin Mitchell.

Linda dedicated many years of service to Floyd County Schools, where she found great joy in the relationships she built with both teachers and students. She loved sharing stories about the people she worked along side and the many young lives she touched throughout her career.

An artist at heart, Linda was always creating something beautiful, with countless projects that reflected her creativity and generous spirit. Above all, her family was the center of her life. She treasured every opportunity to be together with those she loved, creating memories and stories that will be cherished for generations. Though she is no longer with us, the love she shared and the memories she created will ensure that her spirit lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She deeply missed the love of her life, Richard, and her family finds comfort in knowing they are now joyfully reunited in Heaven.
