Linda Stone Keith

Linda dedicated 38 years of her life to education, serving with Pinellas County Schools. A devoted and caring educator, she took great pride in the lasting impact she made on the lives of her students - many of whom continued to visit her later in life, supporting her recently through this difficult time. Her commitment to the teaching profession was recognized through her membership in Delta Kappa Gamma, an honor society for educators.

Outside of her career, Linda cherished the friendships and connections that enriched her life. She was an active member of her book club and greatly enjoyed sharing books and conversation with her friends.

Linda also had a wonderful love of travel and embraced every opportunity to explore the world. Her travels took her to many memorable destinations, including Russia, Australia, New Zealand, England, Greece, Italy, and Germany. She treasured the experiences, cultures, and memories she gathered along the way.

Linda will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her family and friends.

She is survived by her daughter, Deborah Keith Smalbach; grandsons, Harrison Samuel Smalbach (Nicolette) and Matthew Asher McLaughlin (Michelle); great-grandchildren, Jagger Rose Smalbach and Harlow Jade Smalbach; and sisters, Shirley Shaw and Annette McDuff (Fred), Jannette Clark all of Birmingham, Alabama.

Her sister Annette recently described Linda as the fun sister. The sister that always brought a joyfulness to their family. She traveled to visit her sisters often and remained close to each of them taking trips with them when it was possible. Her daughter and grandsons were always there for her and she for them. They all had a very special loving connection with her that will be missed. She had a special love for her many nieces and they loved her in return.
