Linda Boan Edens

Linda Boan Edens, 77, of Summerville, South Carolina, passed away on October 4, 2026 surrounded by her loving family.

Blumenburg, and his fiancée, Samantha Medved; her beloved step-great-granddaughter, Oaklynn; her sister, Dianne Martin; her niece, Cindy McElveen, and her husband, Robert; along with Lots of extended family members and many dear friends.

Linda was a loving, funny, sweet, kind woman who adored her family. She enjoyed painting, arts and crafts, playing Bingo, and spending time with her friends. She was affectionately known as “The Pink Flamingo Lady” at The Village at Summerville, where she formed many treasured friendships that became like family.

Linda’s greatest joy was her family, especially her daughter Sally, with whom she shared an inseparable mother-daughter bond; and also her grandson Wesley, of whom she was immensely proud; and her precious Oaklynn, who lovingly called her “GiGi.” She also shared a special bond with her son-in-law Ed, who affectionately called her his “MIL,” meaning Mother-in-Love.

A woman of strong Christian faith, Linda will forever be remembered for her beautiful heart, wonderful sense of humor, and unconditional love for her family and friends.
