Linda Ann Marron

Linda Ann Marron, 71, of rural Fithian passed away on September 15, 2026, at Indiana University Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. Born in Danville on January 20, 1955, Linda was the only daughter of the late John H.E. and Marjorie M. (Gilbreath) Camp. Linda grew up in Collison and graduated from Armstrong High School. She attended the University of Illinois for both undergraduate and graduate studies.

Linda will be remembered for a life centered on education, service, faith, and family. She was a junior high school teacher at Prairieview-Ogden for many years, where she made a lasting difference in the lives of her students. In addition to her work in the classroom, she also assisted in coaching the school’s volleyball, track, and basketball teams throughout her career.

Linda’s favorite job was being a grandma, supporting her grandchildren in everything near and far. She encouraged her grandkids in all their activities: traveling to rodeo competitions, watching endless hours of baseball, enjoying the performing arts, entertaining all their interests and endeavors, and teaching them to find joy in everything they did.

Her love for family ran deep, extending warmly to family near and far. She also found joy in serving as a host family for two foreign exchange students—opening her home and her heart—bringing both into her family. She also loved to travel, and she especially loved having her toes in the sand of any beach in Florida.

She was a member of the Psi Iota Xi Philanthropy Sorority for several years and was also a member of Collison United Methodist Church.

Linda is survived by her husband of nearly 52 years, Pat Marron; her sons Mike (Brandy) Marron of Fithian, John (Stephanie) Marron of Indianapolis, Ind., and Jim (Megan) Marron of Dublin, Ireland; and her grandchildren Ainsley, Charles, Lucy, and James Patrick. She is also survived by her siblings John (Lora Palmer) Camp of Potomac, Ill., William (Martha) Camp of Vonroe, Tenn., Mike (Kristin) Camp of Collison, Ill., and Jeff (Wendy) Camp of Armstrong, Ill. as well as several nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by two grandsons Henry Ellis Marron and DH Marron.
