Diane Geary Linton, 68, of Frederick, Maryland, answered God's call on Friday, October 13, 2017 at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC.

Born on May 12, 1949, in Centerport, NY, she was the daughter of the late Rev. Joseph P. Geary and Audrey Donaldson Baker.

Diane was currently retired but worked most of her life as a child care provider. She was previously employed by Green Valley and Hawthorne Elementary Schools, National Geographic and Rice's Color Center.

Her greatest enjoyment was having her children, grandchildren, family and friends around her. She was Mom and Grandma to all. She enjoyed playing Bingo and Buncos and watching her daily t.v. shows. She also enjoyed puzzles, baking, going to the movies and spending time with her cat, Shadow.

She is survived by her sister, Karen Ann Geary of Frederick; her former spouse, Richard L. Linton, of New Market; a son, Shaun Joseph Linton and wife, Hollie, of Newark, OH; a daughter, Mindy Linton Ramirez of Frederick; and grandchildren, Savannah, Mylaura, Laithyn, Veronica, Anthony, David and Megan.
