Linda Scheulen was a longtime staff member of Dominican University of New York (formerly Dominican College), where she worked as a student accounts representative in the Bursar's Office in Orangeburg, Rockland County. She died on September 19, 2026, at her home in Blauvelt, New York, at the age of 67, with her husband, Tim, by her side. Her death was announced through an obituary published by the Joseph W. Sorce Funeral Home of West Nyack, New York.
Born on June 19, 1959, Linda grew up in New City, New York, part of Rockland County's close knit Hudson Valley community. Public records identify her parents as Bill and Lorraine Dumas, her father having died before her. Little detail about her early life or education has been made public, and no cause of death has been disclosed.
Professionally, Linda spent years working in the Bursar's Office, later renamed the Office of Student Financial Services, at Dominican University of New York. Colleagues and students who dealt with the university's billing and student accounts office would have known her by name and phone extension, since she was the point of contact for students whose last names fell in the first half of the alphabet. Her obituary describes her as someone who built lasting friendships with coworkers over the course of her career there.
Away from work, those who knew her describe a life centered on family. She was married to her husband, Tim, and was the mother of a son, Timmy. Her obituary describes her as a devoted, ever present mother, someone whose daily, ordinary acts of care were the way she expressed love, and says she is remembered by her husband, her son, her mother Lorraine, and extended family and friends.
Linda Scheulen was not a public figure in the conventional sense of holding elected office, achieving fame, or appearing widely in the press. She mattered to the people who knew her at Dominican University and in her Rockland County community, and her passing is being marked through a funeral home tribute and the condolences of family and friends rather than the kind of coverage reserved for celebrities or public officials. This page reflects only what has been made public in her obituary and related records, and will be updated if further verified information becomes available.
