Linda Diane Kaleto

Linda Diane Kaleto, 78, of Gladwin, Michigan, was welcomed into the loving arms of her Savior on October 19, 2023. Linda was born at the Venice Army Air Field hospital in Venice, Florida, on June 24, 1945, to Harry and Ollie (Yoder) Page. She was raised in Midland, Michigan, and after graduating from Midland High School in 1963, Linda attended and received an associate degree from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. She moved to Gladwin, Michigan, upon her marriage, where she greatly enjoyed living in the beautiful countryside. Linda worked as an administrative assistant for many years for Homestead Tool and Machine in Coleman, Michigan, from which she retired in 2018.

Linda was a faithful member for many years of Grace Fellowship Church (formerly Skeels Baptist Church) of Gladwin, where she served as a Sunday School teacher and in the nursery. In later years, she was a faithful member of Colonville Bible Church of Clare, where she also served in the nursery and greatly enjoyed her ladies’ Sunday School class.

Linda was a passionate reader, loved watching cooking shows, and was an avid collector of cookbooks (of which she had well over a hundred). She was a phenomenal cook and was excellent at sewing, whether it was making Halloween costumes for her children or mending many of their clothing items over the years.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Ollie Page, and her sister-in-law, Jeri Page. She is survived by her children, Jeff (Kim) Kaleto of Gladwin, Ryan Kaleto of Midland, and Mindi (Jonathan) Huggins of Leesburg, Virginia, as well as her four grandchildren, Lily, Paige, Hudson, and Hayden. She is also survived by her four brothers, Larry Page of Midland, Don (Fran) Page of Midland, Joe Page of Sanford, and Ron (Mary) Page of Boyne City and several nieces and nephews.

The family will receive visitors on Friday, October 27, 2023, from 4-7 p.m. at Smith-Miner Funeral Home in Midland. The funeral service will be held at Midland Baptist Church on Saturday, October 28, 2023, at 11 a.m., with visitation beginning at 10 a.m.

Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider Skeels Christian School or The Springs (summer camp) in Gladwin.
