Linda Ann Abbott

Linda Ann Abbott, regretfully, on the early hours of 23rd of November, at the age of 71, passed away from a heart attack at her home. She was born to Lonnie and Wanda Warren, at 7 pounds and 4 ounces, on the 19th of December, 1948. Linda Ann would be the oldest of 4 born into that loving Benton Harbor family. In 1967, Linda graduated from Coloma High School, while her future husband, Anthony (Tony) Abbott served in Vietnam. The pair met in early ‘70s, and on the 23rd of October in 1971, Linda Ann Warren became Linda Ann Abbott. The newlyweds lived Stevensville, Michigan for nearly three decades; first in one home, and then a larger one down the block before moving back to Benton Harbor in 2004. Linda was a dedicated mother to her children and she served as an active den mother to Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. She also worked for 17 years at First Resource Federal Credit Union, retiring in 2004. In more recent years, Linda developed a reputation for cooking and baking irresistible dishes. Linda leaves behind her spouse Tony Abbott, brother Leslie Warren, sister and brother-in-law Rita and Dennis Johnson, sister Laura Denise Smith, daughter and son-in law, Cristina and Damon Mitchell, daughter-in-law Melanie Abbott along with her daughters (Linda’s grandchildren) Courtney and Ellery, grandson MJ Abbott and his mother Megan Yeckley Beaudoin, granddaughter, Taylor Prestige and her spouse Matthew Prestige along with their children (Linda’s great-grandchildren) Regan and Hudson, and finally, Linda and Tony’s sweet-faced rescue mix, Harvey. She was preceded in death by the painful loss of her son, Mario, (11/14/17), and her parents Lonnie and Wanda Warren.
