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

A picture is worth a thousand words and
this is an example of why Love of Linda

receive over 1.2 million dollars over the last
15 years. Our
gratitude goes out to the Elks
for use of the facilities and to Vince Piccirilli
for his time and effort in accommodating our
needs. Compliments to Jim and his staff who
prepared a marvelous repast.
Service was superior thanks to the Elks’
Ladies’ Auxiliary, the high school student
volunteers, Boy Scout Troop 75 and
Scoutmaster Dan Petela, the faithful
volunteers who make it all
happen to
support our patients and we appreciate the
"continued financial support" of the Elks.
