Linda L. Nace

Linda L. Nace (nee Biddick), 79 of Phoenix, passed away on December 30, 2023 after fighting ALS with amazing strength and grace.  She grew up in Madison, WI. and earned a BS degree in Medical Technology at UW-Platteville.  In 1966 she married Roger Nace and later moved to Phoenix in 1973, where they resided until December of 2022.  Linda lived out the rest of her life in the care of her sister in Northern Kentucky.

Linda spent 40 years in the clinical laboratory business and held directorships in quality, technical services, technical operations and administration, and was instrumental in making Sonora Quest into one of the best medical laboratories in the country.   After retiring, Linda became active in an Owl Watching Group, the Paradise Valley Women’s Club, and the Needlers Club, where she quilted, sewed, knitted and crocheted projects for many organizations.  She was an avid reader and loved watching sports on TV.

Linda is survived by her husband: Roger Nace, sister: Barbara (Jerry) Johnson, brother-in-law: John (Kathleen) Nace, sister-in-law: Marjorie (Nace) Heimerl, numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents: Burdette and Lucile Biddick and brothers: David and Larry Biddick.

Linda will be laid to rest at National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona.  Per her request, no services will be held.  The family would like to especially thank her neurologist, Dr. Neel, and the staff at St. Elizabeth Hospice for their excellent care of Linda.
