Obituary
Linda Conley Moreland was born in Akron, Ohio on November 16, 1948. She passed away on
November 29, 2025 in Sun City, FL after a 13 month battle with pancreatic cancer. She is
predeceased by her parents Dwain Conley and Sally Conley. She is survived by her spouse
Richard (Rick) Moreland, her step children Matthew Moreland, Stephanie Parnell (Landon), her
children Mary Hess, Krystal Stalk (Chris), and Michael Moreland; her brothers Michael Conley
(Nancy), Greg Conley (Patti), and Patrick Conley; her brothers-in-law Thomas Moreland (Eileen)
and John Moreland, her sister-in-law Kathy Moreland; her grandsons Johnny Hess and David
Parnell, plus 10 nieces and nephews and 11 great nieces and nephews.
Linda and her family moved to Riverview, FL when she was 10 and lived in that part of Florida
except for a period of time in the 1980s where she lived in Houston, TX and met Rick. After
high school she worked for several years as an Administrative Assistant in several departments
at the University of South Florida. She earned an Associate of Arts degree from Polk
Community College in Information Technology. She worked in that field for over 20 years
including companies like Keystone Valve, System One (data center for Continental Airlines),
and Publix Super Markets. She retired from that field in 2008 to take her favorite job. She was
the nanny for her niece, Cristin Keane, and her children, Sally Keane and Danny Keane. She
kept that job for 5 years. She and Rick both retired in 2013 and traveled extensively with many
friends until her cancer diagnosis in October, 2024. For a period from 2020 to 2024 they lived in
the mountains of North Georgia and owned 2 acres which they adored. They had returned to
Florida just before her cancer diagnosis. She spent the last 13 months surrounded by her
loving family.
Linda was one of the most positive and kindest people you could ever meet. Her death will
leave a void in the lives of many including lifelong friends. She had several hobbies but her
passion was spending time with family and friends. In lieu of flowers, please consider a
donation to LifePath Hospice or the American Cancer Society in her memory.
A Celebration Of Life is planned for 10 am on Saturday February 14, 2026. It will be held at
Presbyterian Church of Bloomingdale, 710 E Bloomingdale Ave in Brandon, FL and will also be
broadcast on Facebook live.
Rick, please take comfort in the love of your family and friends. May Linda's spirit be at peace and she joyfully reside with her Mother, Tommy and all your angel family that will now and forever guard over you. I send many loving thoughts, my deepest sympathy and many prayers to you and all of Linda's family and friends. Love, Mary
She was kind, funny and had such a wonderful outlook on life.
Praying for God's peace at this difficult time.

But I think, as friends too.
We had each other’s back,
That’s just what you do.
We both started young,
With fun and interesting lives,
Who knew our paths,
would include two husbands and several wives!
But it really didn’t matter,
Where you and I would be.
Just hearing your voice,
Was family enough for me.
It’s hard that you’re gone,
Though I hope to see you again.
For now I’ll just say ‘I love you’,
Soupy - Until then...
I’m sure I speak for Linda’s other brothers as well, she will be missed. Also, thank you Rick for all you did for Linda and us during this time.
Greg Conley
Rick, God’s strength as you move forward. Patty Black
