Linda K. Cramer, 77, died on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2014, at 12:25 p.m. at her residence in Lima, Ohio.

She worked as a clerk for Cole-Humphrey Insurance Agency of Ada. She was a member of the Ada Junior Civic League and was a volunteer at Lima Memorial Health System.
There I was minding my own business in the Ada Public Library, and who do you suppose walked in: Great-Grandmother Ada.
I hadn’t seen her in town since the night Zac Dysert was drafted by the Broncos. She doesn’t live here anymore. I think she moved to Ada, Oklahoma, but I’m not certain. Anyway, I know she’s retired. She looked really good, though. A little purple wave in her hair and a really nice tan.
As soon as she sat down I knew she’d start talking. She has lots of opinions on Ada. You know, the usual: What ever became of so-and-so, and who bought that property on North Main Street?”
