Linda Marie Marquardt

Linda Marie Marquardt, 75, of Mexico Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully at home on October 31, 2026, surrounded by her family.

Although Linda was born in Iron Mountain, Michigan, she was raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin. At 20, she boarded a Greyhound bus and headed to Florida to meet up with her future husband, Tom Marquardt. They sailed around the Bahamas before marrying in West Palm Beach in 1973. A few years later, they discovered Mexico Beach, which Linda called home for nearly 50 years. Together, they owned and operated Marquardt’s Marina for 30 years.

Linda loved her family and spending time with them, wherever they were. She was always game for an adventure, whether traveling across the country with Tom on their Harleys or taking “girls’ trips” with her daughters. She enjoyed boating, collecting seashells, dancing, and spending time with family by the pool. Her green thumb was the envy of many, and she treasured every opportunity to be with her grandchildren. Above all, she was a loving wife, mother, sister, and the best Mimi.

Linda is survived by her husband of 53 years, Tom; her daughters, Chrystina (Jason) Adams of Mexico Beach, Florida, and Amanda (James) Clements of Albany, Georgia; her grandchildren, Eli Adams, Evelyn Clements, and Thomas Clements; her sister, Sharon (Wayne) Klinkhammer of Prattville, Alabama; and her brother, Alan (Jolene) Conard of Lake Elmo, Minnesota. She also leaves behind many beloved brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Norman and Evelyn Conard, and her siblings, Tommy Conard and Kathy Butchart.

A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. Central Time on Friday, November 13, 2026, at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 929 S. Tyndall Parkway, Panama City, Florida. Visitation will be held one hour before the service.

In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Linda’s memory to Forget Me Not Fund, Inc., at www.forgetmenotfund.org or to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.

Remembering Kimberly Ilene McCann Dolan

Kimberly Ilene McCann Dolan passed away on October 27, 2026, at the age of 67. Her husband, Tim, and her children were right there beside her during her final moments, surrounding her with the love that meant so much to her throughout her life.

Kimmy was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to Thomas Anthony McCann and Carol Sue O’Dea. She grew up in the St. Louis area and moved to Salem, Illinois, while in high school. She eventually settled in Decherd, Tennessee, where she made a home and a life filled with family, laughter, and love. The last six months of her life were spent in her dream beach cottage in Indian Pass, near Port St. Joe, Florida.

Kimmy and Timmy shared 35 years together, including 30 years of marriage. Throughout those years, they built a life and a family full of memories, adventures, and love.

Family was everything to Kimmy. She loved bringing everyone together for big family dinners, sharing stories, reminiscing about the old days, and catching up on everyone’s lives. Her grandchildren brought her endless happiness, and she treasured every moment spent with them. She also loved traveling, camping, crafting, shopping, and decorating, especially for the holidays.

Kimmy earned her master’s degree in education and spent 14 years teaching middle school in Shelbyville, Tennessee, helping young people learn and grow.

If you knew Kimmy, you will likely remember her beautiful smile and contagious laugh. When she got laughing, it was hard not to join in. Her laughter had a way of filling a room and bringing everyone along with her. It was one of the things people loved most about her, and it will be deeply missed.

Kimmy is survived by her husband, Timothy Dolan; her three children, Rebecca Kent (Daniel), Charles Dolan, and Cynthia Mace (Jordan); and her six grandchildren, Kara Dolan, Lacey Dolan, DJ Kent, Conor Wallace, Clover Kent, and Kenley Wallace. She is also survived by her siblings, Michael McCann, Kelly Beckham, and Kristin Gulley, along with many other family members and friends who loved her.

Kimmy leaves behind a family filled with memories, stories, and traditions that will carry her love forward. And whenever laughter fills a room, her family will think of her and remember the joy she brought to those around her.

A celebration of Kimmy’s life will be held at a later date. Details will be shared with family and friends when arrangements have been made.

She was so loved, and she always will be.
