Linda Jane Mayer Sweet, 81, of Newton, North Carolina passed away peacefully on September 7, 2024.  Born on August 2, 1943, in Indiana, the daughter of the late Emanuel Charles Mayer and DeaJane Mayer. Linda graduated from Riviera Beach High School in Riviera Beach, Florida, in 1961. She enjoyed a successful career, working for National Rental Car in Florida before retiring from Ithaca Industries in Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

Linda was preceded in death by her loving husband of 30 years, Jerry Sweet, and her sister, Judith Mayer Walsh. She leaves behind a cherished family, including her sister Billie Casale and Billie’s children, Timothy, Janet and Janene as well as her brother-in-law, Jesse Walsh Jr. and his children, a step-son & step-daughter, numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and a special bond with step-nephew and niece, Randy and Sheila Sweet.  In addition to her cherished family, she leaves behind an abundance of special people who she was so fortunate to have in her life such as Danny & Sandy, Gloria & Eugene, Chuck & Carol, Rick & Linda and the list goes on and on . . .
