Linda Krohe Cole

Linda Krohe Cole, age 78, a Pittsburgh-native from Churchill, passed away on Thursday, June 27, 2024, after a short battle with Leukemia. She was born on November 27, 1945, the third child to Thomas and Lena Angotti and sister to Carl Angotti (Nancy), Cathy Goldston (Richard), and Janice Anderson (James-deceased). She graduated from Penn Hills High School and earned her bachelor’s degree in education from Edinboro University. Linda was first married to Thomas Krohe in 1967, and they had two children together. Linda remarried in 1985 to husband, Charles Richard Cole “Chuck”, with whom she has shared a loving relationship filled with fun, family, friends, and laughter. Linda was a devoted mother to Janel Keyser (Orin) and Terence, a.k.a. Terry Krohe (deceased); stepmother to Tracy Woehler and Scott Cole (Jennifer); loving ‘Grammie’ to Matthew, Jason, Alex, Reilley, Mackenzie, Jordyn Rae, and Gabrielle Christyn; and sister-in-law to Jackie Schlegel and Barbara Fisher (Paul) and the late Beverly Cole. Linda was well-known for her organizational skills as a charitable, caring elementary school teacher for 30 years in the Wilkinsburg school district, and then as a dedicated, detail-oriented administrator for Dan Reismeyer at D & M Heating & Cooling. Her true knack for organizing was evident in how much she enjoyed planning events for her family and friends including gatherings at her homes, arranging beach and ski vacations, and many boat trips celebrating 4th of July at the Point.

Linda will be remembered as a positive and pleasant person who was petite in stature yet as strong as an oak tree. She was the foundation of her family, providing unwavering support, love, and strength to all who knew her. There are no words to accurately describe how much she will be missed, especially by her devoted husband who says she was amazing!

Friends will be received at Wolfe Memorial, LLC, Forest Hills Chapel, 3600 Greensburg Pike, Pittsburgh PA 15221, on Monday, July 8, from 10:00am until the time of the service at 11:00am, followed by inurnment at Church Hill Cemetery and a luncheon.
