Linda L. (Dehnhoff) Stevenson

Linda Stevenson passed peacefully into the arms of her Savior Jesus Christ on July 13, 2025. She was born in Findlay, OH, to Norman and Anna (Christoff) Dehnhoff on June 25, 1953.

She graduated from Arcadia High School, then attended Asbury College graduating with her BA in Education from Findlay College.

She began her teaching career at Hope Temple where she taught kindergarten, and one of her favorite students was her younger sister, Sarah. She then taught third grade at McComb for a number of years.

Linda met the love of her life, Dean Stevenson, and they were married June 12, 1982.

Later, Linda worked at Findlay First Assembly of God, first as the Childcare Director, then Children's Ministry Director and later Church-Secretary. She next pursued her Masters in Education from Findlay University in order to return to her true passion: education. She taught at Fostoria Middle School as an English Second Language teacher. After retirement, she enjoyed gardening, cooking, and loved being with family-especially her grandchildren.

A devoted Christian, Linda had a deep love for Jesus Christ, which was reflected in her heart for serving others. Whether through teaching, volunteering, or simply offering a kind word, she lived her faith every day and touched many lives with her generosity, compassion, and unwavering belief in the power of love.

She was preceded in death by her mother Anna Lee Dehnhoff. Linda will be missed and loved by her surviving husband, Dean, Leipsic, OH, and their children: Sean (Kim) Stevenson, McComb, OH; Christy (Erik) Alfsen, Fort Knox, KY; and Cheri (Adam) Garton, Springfield, MO. Her seven grandchildren: Everly (Stevenson), Denali, Haakon, and Anniston (Alfsen), Gemma, Kahlon, and Rylee (Garton). Linda is also survived by her father, Norman Dehnhoff, and sisters, Diane (Michael) Lessig, Arlington, OH; Sarah (Matt) Rutter, Arcadia, OH; and brothers Daniel (Kim) Dehnhoff, Findlay, OH; Timothy Dehnhoff, Baltimore, MD.
