so sad to hear today of Linda's death yesterday, she was a very nice person and we are lucky to have had her among us..our smpathy to husband, Ron Kettman and the family.
Linda Kettman, age 66, of Palm Bay, Florida, passed away peacefully Thursday morning, April 24th, 2014, at William Childs Hospice House in Palm Bay. She was born January 3, 1948, in Streator, IL to Ervin and Camilla Svetz (both deceased). On September 12, 1970, she married her loving husband, Ron Kettman.
Linda lived most of her married life in Perrysburg, Ohio, and in 2003 moved permanently to Florida to enjoy the sunshine, palm trees and ocean that she always loved.
She is survived by her loving husband of 43 years, Ron, son Curtis (Franci) Kettman, of Titusville, Florida and daughter Rhonda (Tony) Blair, and grandchildren Avery and Lauren Blair of Maumee, Ohio.
Linda will be remembered for her love of life, people and animals. She had a passion for cooking, which eventually resulted in her starting up her own catering business, Coqui Catering, and pouring her efforts into creating a recipe book of the Kettman family recipes for all relatives to enjoy. She had a big heart for animals ever since she was a young child, and discovered her love of cats later in life, which eventually led her to volunteering at the SPCA when she lived in Titusville, Florida. She had a great spirit for adventure which allowed her to embrace and thoroughly enjoy a year in Puerto Rico when her husband had a job transfer, as well as many other travels in her lifetime. She was a go getter in her career, her greatest accomplishments being the purchase of a residential house cleaning business with her husband in 1988, which they operated for 15 years together, and establishing her catering business which she operated for several years. She will forever be remembered as a loving and supportive wife, mother and grandmother.
A celebration of Linda’s life will be held at Newcomer Cremation and Funeral Service Chapel, 2400 S. Washington Ave., Titusville, FL 32780, on Friday, May 2 at 3:30 PM with a luncheon following directly after at Portofino Restaurant, 3350 S. Washington Ave, Titusville, FL 32780.
