Linda Hatch Queior

Wake Forest

Linda Hatch Queior, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away recently at the age of 68 on Saturday, November 2, 2024.

Born in upstate New York, Linda spent her childhood in both New York and California before returning to New York, where she met the love of her life, David Queior. Together, Linda and Dave built a life filled with love across New York, Connecticut, and over 20 years in Maryland, ultimately settling in North Carolina to retire, where they got to spend time with cherished friends and family. Linda and Dave enjoyed visiting the Adirondack Mountains for their family’s annual vacation.

An incredible stay-at-home mom, Linda would drive her kids and their friends to every school event and rehearsal. Linda ended up becoming an important figure to these friends, even becoming a second parent to many: she loved them as her own. Later, Linda found the courage to return to school, becoming a skilled medical transcriptionist, a role she excelled in for nearly a decade. Linda’s spirit shined through her passion for volunteering, performing random acts of kindness, telling stories, and participating way too often in creative practical jokes.

Linda loved being a grandmother and was proud of her grandkids accomplishments, whether in kart racing, soccer, gymnastics, video games, golf, or art. 

She is preceded in death by her parents, her sister-in-law, and her devoted husband, Dave.

Linda is survived by four siblings and their spouses, her three children and their spouses, five grandchildren, and countless family members and friends who cherished her deeply including Dave’s brothers and their spouses.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, honoring her generous heart.

Linda’s warmth and humor will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.

A memorial service will be held at 12 PM on Saturday, November 9, 2024 at Village Church Rolesville, 410 Southtown Cir. Rolesville, NC 27571.
