Linda Jo Parsons

Linda Jo Parsons, born Linda Jo Albright, died on October 29, 2026, in Huber Heights, Ohio, at the age of 74. She was not a celebrity or public figure in the conventional sense: no Wikipedia page exists for her, and the record of her life comes from the obituary published by Newcomer Cremations, Funerals, and Receptions, North Dayton Chapel, and from the funeral notices that followed. She is remembered by her family and community as a woman of deep Christian faith, and the obituary describes her as someone who will be remembered for her faithful heart, her strength, her kindness, and the love she poured into her family and friends.

Parsons was born on July 26, 1952, in Dayton, Ohio, the daughter of Elbert and Rita Albright. She spent her life in the Dayton area, including the city of Huber Heights where she died. Her occupation, education, and other biographical details beyond her family life have not been reported publicly, and this page will be updated if reputable sources confirm more about her career or community involvement.

Her life centered on her family. She was married to Richard Parsons, who died before her, and together they raised a son, Kevin Parsons, who also predeceased her, and a daughter, Cindee Thoerner, who survives her along with Cindee's husband, David. Parsons was also a great-grandmother to five children, Sophee, Lorelai, Ezra, Adeline, and Owen, whose lives, the obituary notes, carry forward the love of their grandmother and great-grandmother. She was one of several Albright siblings, and she is survived by her brother David (and his wife Charmaine), her sister Dian Rose, and her brother Robert (and his wife Heather). A brother, Steven Albright, died before her, as did several members of the extended Parsons family.

No cause of death has been made public. The obituary gives no medical details, and no reputable source has reported one as of this writing. Parsons is described in her obituary as having gone home to meet her Lord and Savior, language consistent with a life of professed Christian faith, and as being reunited with her husband in death.

Her death was announced through the obituary notice placed by her family with Newcomer Cremations, Funerals, and Receptions in Dayton, Ohio. Because Parsons was a private individual rather than a public figure, there have been no public statements from officials, employers, or organizations, and tributes so far have come through the funeral home's online guest book and from family and friends in the Dayton and Huber Heights area.
