Linda Kay Fair, age 82 of Three Rivers, passed away at her home on October 21, 2024.  She was born in Grand Rapids, MI and was adopted by her loving parents, Edward and Dorothy (Strohpaul) Hack.  She attended Three Rivers High School and was part of the 1960 graduating class.  On June 6, 1970 she would marry the love of her life, Herbert Fair at Trinity Episcopal Church in Three Rivers, MI.  Linda was a hard-working lady, working at Continental Can for over a decade, working at the GTE phone company for fifteen years, and then showing her true colors working in the jewelry section at Meijer for almost twenty years.  Linda had a green thumb and would often showcase her talents at the county fair and would regularly bring home a ribbon or trophy because of it.  She had a reputation of being a fierce competitor, and was dubbed the title of "Shuffleboard Champion" in Florida.  Linda loved her sports, especially when her grandchildren were involved; she would often be one of the loudest fans in attendance.  One of her pride and joys in life was her 1964 Chevy Corvair Convertible 4-speed; that car alone would bring trophies home and even earned her the nickname "Topless Lady" at the local car shows.  The car may have been her pride and joy, but her family had her heart.  Linda will always be remembered for her unique, loud, energetic laugh with her beautiful smile.

Linda is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Herb; four children; Rene'e (Eric) Schreffler of Vicksburg, MI, Randy (Nancy) Fair of Beloit, WI, Michael (Shelley) Fair of Durand, IL, and Chad (Christy) Fair of Belmont, MI; "adopted daughter" Ann (Brian) Riley; six grandchildren; Courtney (Justin) Fitzgerald, Lucas (Vanessa) Perry, Casey (Carla) Schreffler, Jen Fair, Justin Fair, and Zachary Fair; four great-grandchildren; Harley Fitzgerald and Jaxon Fitzgerald, Natalia Schreffler and Noah Schreffler; and two more beautiful babies on the way.

In keeping with her wishes, cremation is being conducted.  A visitation for Linda will take place at the Eickhoff Funeral Home in Mendon on Friday, November 8, 2024 from 3pm until 7pm.  A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 11am at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Three Rivers with Pastor James Smith officiating.  Following the memorial service, burial will take place at Riverside Cemetery in Three Rivers.  Linda loved going to car shows, if you have a classic automobile, honor Linda and drive it to visitation or the memorial service.  It is suggested that donations made in Linda's name be made to Centrica Care Navigators Hospice or Trinity Episcopal Church.  Condolences and memories may be expressed to the family at eickhofffuneralhome.com
