Linda (Shupe) Pohle, 81, of Lancaster, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2019 at Mennonite Homes. Born in Greensburg to the late George B. Shupe and Mabel (Campbell) Shupe, she was also the daughter of the late Margaret (Clayton) Shupe and the beloved wife of Robert A. "Bob" Pohle.

Linda loved children and found her calling in teaching. She graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Education and pursued a career in elementary education which brought her and her newlywed husband to Lancaster in 1962. Linda was a second-grade teacher at Washington Elementary for 22 years before retiring in 1997. Following her retirement, Linda continued to nurture young children as a pre-school teacher.

In her free time, Linda enjoyed playing the piano, planting flowers in her garden, and reading. She always relished the opportunity to go on short weekend trips with her husband. Linda was a natural caregiver and focused her energy on everyone but herself. She loved her grandchildren and cared for them like they were her own. She will be remembered by the smile she always had on her face, her every day class and grace, and her selflessness.

Linda is survived by her loving husband, Robert A. "Bob" Pohle, her children; Jennifer Lee (Michael), Bobby Pohle, Matthew Pohle, and Megan Lukas, and her 10 grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, George and Mabel Shupe, and step-mother Margaret Shupe.
