Linda K. Hickman
July 27, 1941 – July 9, 2025
Linda K. Hickman, 83, of Blaine WA, passed away peacefully on July 9, 2025, after a sudden illness. Born on July 27, 1941, in Franklin, PA, she was the beloved daughter of the late Jack Kugler, Sr. and Mildred Kugler.
Linda is survived by her devoted daughter, Robin Bonham and son-in-law Kelly Bonham; her grandsons Jeff (Ana) Doyle and Jeremiah (Whitney) Doyle; and her great-grandchildren Rowan, Astrid, Thalen, Jordyn, Madi, Daniel, Ricky and Esteban.
She also leaves behind her loving sisters Kathy (Del) Peterson and Sara Mong and sister-in-law Jeannie Kugler. She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Mary Jane and her brothers Jack Kugler, Jr. and Michael Kugler.
Linda was a spirited and selfless woman whose kindness touched the lives of many. She worked for many years in the Blaine Middle School cafeteria, where her warmth and work ethic were a daily presence until her retirement in 2018. Her most enduring legacy was her two decades of volunteer service at the Blaine Food Bank. Affectionately known by her food bank family as “Little Linda,” she was a powerhouse of energy, humor, and compassion. Her fierce dedication was matched only by her heart, and she was often the first to arrive and the last to leave, ensuring that everything was ready for those in need.
A celebration of life will be held on August 31, 2 p.m., at the BBV clubhouse. A casual BBQ will follow as Linda would have wanted – filled with love, laughter, and the community she helped nourish.
