Linda Maher

Linda Maher, age 83, of Harrison Township, Ohio, peacefully passed away on Friday, October 10, 2025. Born on March 21, 1942, in Cincinnati, Ohio, she was the cherished daughter of Harold and Amanda Petty (nee Houser).

She is survived by her remaining sons, Timothy Dooley and Patrick Dooley (Michelle), along with four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren as well as a host of family member and friends.
