Linda
Bickel Grassi, raised in Wildwood Crest and a graduate of Wildwood High School,
was a Glenwood Avenue Elementary School
teacher in Wildwood, NJ
for 20 years.
She was
fondly known to
everyone as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend.
When diagnosed with
ovarian cancer, Linda’s close friends
and co-workers came together to
raise funds to help
defray the enormous costs of her treatment and the ancillary expenses.
Even though Linda lost her battle with cancer in May of 1994 at the age of 46, the work and
the love continue through
the Love of Linda Cancer
Fund, Inc. Visit the
About Us section to
