Linda

Chura

Linda Chura fell asleep Nov. 5, 2026, surrounded by family at home.

Known for her generous spirit, her gift for making everyone feel like family, and her devotion to helping others, Linda was a retired nurse with 40 years in critical care and hospice. She spent 30 years raising funds for multiple sclerosis research. She was a longtime member of Nativity of the Holy Virgin Orthodox Church in Charlotte. An avid traveler and lifelong learner, Linda had a particular interest in World War II history. She loved brownies, her Kindle, and looking at family photos. She never could get a joke.

She is survived by her husband of 62 years, John Chura; daughter, Hillary Hohmann (Neil); grandsons Andrew and Craig; Vindra Richards, whom she loved like a daughter; brother, Jack E. Craig; sisters Jean Henson (Kevin), Shelly Brincefield (Mike), and Angie Harris (Nate); and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Jack E. Craig Sr., Malree Graham, and Helen Craig; sister-in-law, Ann Craig; and nephew, Jason Craig.

The funeral will be Saturday, Nov. 14, at 10 a.m. at Holland Funeral Service, 806 Circle Drive, Monroe, with Fathers Bill Mills and Paul Coats officiating. Burial will follow at Suncrest Cemetery.

Visitation is Friday, Nov. 13, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Holland, with a Trisagion service at 6 p.m.

A celebration of Linda’s life will be held later this month. Please contact the family for details.
