Linda K. Wiegman, 80, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, went to her heavenly home on April 4, 2026, in Fort Wayne after a courageous battle with cancer.
Linda was born October 11, 1945, in Bluffton, Indiana, to Ralph Meyer and Josephine (Liechty) Meyer. She graduated from Bluffton High School in 1963 and went on to Ball State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Education in 1967 and a Master of Arts in Education in 1972. Linda devoted her career to serving children as an elementary school teacher and later as a school psychologist with Fort Wayne Community Schools, retiring in 2012. She especially loved working with children whether one-on-one or in groups to help them succeed.
A faithful follower of Christ, Linda surrendered her life to Jesus as Lord and Savior in March 1984 at Brookside Church in Fort Wayne. She was active in the life of Brookside Church, participating in women’s Bible studies and helping develop the church’s exterior landscaping along with other activities. An avid gardener who loved flowers, she earned the designation of Master Gardener. Linda also enjoyed cooking and entertaining friends and family, welcoming others with warmth and hospitality.
Linda was predeceased by her parents, Ralph and Josephine Meyer, and her son, Benjamin Wiegman.
She is survived by her companion, Tom Tucker of Fort Wayne, Indiana; three brothers, Richard (Theresa) Meyer of The Villages, Florida; Jerry (Vickie) Meyer of Owosso, Michigan; and Doug Meyer of Fort Wayne; two nieces, two nephews, and seven great-nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held at Brookside Church, 6102 Evard Road, Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., with calling prior to the service from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Riley Children’s Hospital, Brookside Church, or donor’s favorite charity.
