Linda Good
Linda L. Good of Zanesville, Ohio, died on Sunday, March 15, 2026 at her home at Primrose Retirement Community. She was born on May 30, 1941, in Zanesville, the daughter of John Robert Moore and Alice (Fulkerson) Moore. She married Larry A. Good on January 10, 1964.
Linda dedicated 44 years of her life to education, spending most of her career with Zanesville City Schools. Linda was a 1959 graduate of Zanesville High School and she received her bachelor’s degree from Ohio University in 1964. She served as Head Teacher at Munson Elementary, where she was known for her commitment to her students and her classroom. She was honored as Teacher of the Year by Walmart and, in a reflection of her generous spirit, used her award to provide her students with a trip to COSI in Columbus—an experience she was proud to give.
Linda loved music, reading good books, and creating welcoming decorated spaces, both in her classroom and at home. She especially enjoyed dancing with her husband, Larry, often swaying together to Elvis songs wherever they happened to be. She had a gentle and joyful spirit, finding happiness in small gatherings, concerts, and quiet moments with those she loved. Though naturally a bit nervous, she was deeply dedicated—to her work, decorating for the seasons, and was an avid Ohio State Fan.
Over the years, Linda faced health challenges and dementia. While those years were difficult, her husband remained her dedicated caregiver, patient and kind. She loved her Larry Alvin.
Linda is survived by her dedicated husband, Larry A. Good; her three daughters, Tricia (Robert) Lenhof, Alicia (Shayne) Estrada, and Amy (Ken Adams) Good; her grandchildren, Anthony, Alexander, Samuel, and Isabel Estrada, and Rob, Michael, and Jacob Lenhof; five great-grandchildren; and a host of cousins, extended family, and friends.
She was preceded in death by her son, Jason Bradley Good, and her parents, John Robert and Alice L. Moore.
A gathering of family and friends will be held from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 21, at Primrose Retirement Community in Zanesville. Calling hours will be held from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, on Sunday, March 22, at Hillis Combs Funeral Home, 935 Forest Avenue, Zanesville.
Linda will be remembered for her dedication to her students and the quiet joy she found in life’s simple moments, especially those spent with the people she loved most. To sign the online register book or to send a personal condolence note, please visit www.hilliscombsfh.com.
