Linda Unger Roach, devoted Christian, loving wife, doting mother, grandmother, and a friend to many people she met, passed from this world Thursday evening, May 7th, to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Among her many accomplishments, she was a driving force in starting two churches. She grew up in Bethany Christian Church. In 1973, she was one of about twenty-five Christians who gave life to Southern Heights Christian Church. In 1978, She was one of about twenty-two Christians who together, started Fall Creek Christian Church.
She proudly suggested the name of the church and was a leader in the women’s group.01 She began work at Pendleton Banking Company in 1978 and retired in 2006 from First Merchants Bank. She was an excellent cook. We remember her noodles, and pies, especially raspberry. She always had her camera ready to take pictures of her loving family and being with them was her greatest joy.
Linda is survived by her loving husband Teddy Roach, who she married June 9th, 1963; children, Kent (Roxie) Roach, of Crawfordsville, Mark (Janice) Roach of Roachdale, and Lana (Mark) Harvey of Pendleton; grandchildren, Christopher, Chad and Kaylee Roach of Crawfordsville, Mandi (Josiah) Binch of Crawfordsville, Mark (Elizabeth) Jr. of Avon, Megan (Ben Hampton) Roach of Crawfordsville, Mikayla Roach of Roachdale, Michelle Roach, stationed in Japan, Michael Roach of Avon, Mitchell (Courtney) Ginder of Noblesville, and Taryn (Moe Claypool) Ginder of Anderson; great-grandchildren Sylvia Sattler, Charlotte Ginder, and two more on the way; and sisters, Pam (Jerry) Childers, and Sharie (Steve) Houchins.
