Linda Lauretta Guillet 1941 - 2010


2. My Mother is Linda Lauretta Guillet, daughter of Ross and Lauretta Guillet. She was born March 30, 1941. She was born in Cleveland and grew up in Miamisburg, OH. She was the second of four girls. She attended a Methodist church growing up and often as an adult. She worked as a lifeguard in high school and college. She started college at the University of Cincinnati where she met Sean Hoyt. They were married in September.  They were in Cleveland, Schenectady, NY (Where she had her first child, Laurie), Cleveland again where I (Brue) was born, Youngstown, OH and finally 721 Lewis Seiffert Rd, Hubbard, OH 44425. While in Hubbard she had her third child, Robin, and finished her degree at Youngstown State University. After receiving her BSN she worked at Crittendon Home with young mothers. In 1972 she adopted her fourth child, Karla (b. 30 Oct 1971).  Sean left her in 1979.  She began work at Heritage Manor Jewish nursing home in Youngstown in the late 70's. In December 1982 she moved the family to 100 Westview in Hubbard closer to the school so the kids could walk to school.   In 1986 she remarried George O'Neil.  They lived in his house for a month before buying a home together on Grandview Ave, Hubbard. The marriage lasted seven months. Linda bought a house at 118 fifth Ave. Hubbard (1987). Linda had many joyful times in her life but she dealt with struggles one day at a time for most of her life. As a result she left her job at Heritage Manor and moved to Virginia Beach to start a new life by the Ocean. She missed home and family and possibly had trouble living one day at a time alone so she returned to Ohio (~1993). She resumed working  to Heritage Manor.  After renting in Liberty, OH for a few years, she bought a house in Mill Creek Park in 1996 (532 Glacierview Dr. Youngstown, OH 44509) near her youngest daughter's house  In 2003 she retired from Heritage manor at the age of 62.  She spent her retirement in the park with her dog, traveling with her sisters and visiting with her children. Her entire life she loved Christ, animals, outdoors, fitness and gardening. On June 23rd 2010 she passed away in her home.
