Linda's compassion and sensitivity shone through in everything she did. We'd often hear her asking "What do you need?" and "How can I help?" She did not limit her generosity to the Women's Resource Center. She was the Founder, Past President, and Board Member of Temple Brith Achim. She tutored at the Upper Merion Caley Road School and worked with the Executive Director at Wings For Success. Linda also served her community politically, helping out on election day and working on political campaigns.
We will miss Linda's bright smile and enthusiasm for community service. Her contributions will continue to have an impact on WRC for years to come, and will serve as a reminder of what an amazing woman she was.
In memory of Linda, the WRC is establishing a scholarship
fund for women who have emergency needs or who cannot afford a program
fee. To learn more about contributing to the The Linda Rice Emergency
Services Fund click here or call 610-687-6415.
