Linda Louie
Long time NNJR member Linda Louie of Montvale, NJ passed away.
Linda Louie passed away peacefully on July 20, 2022 at Family of Caring Healthcare (Atrium Post Acute Care) where she had been a resident for the past nine months. She is survived by her loving parents Nancy and Newton Frankel, her devoted companion of 22 years Bart Carlevaro, her brother Norman Vick, nephew Eric Vick, cousin Debra Burk. Linda grew up in Bergen County, having lived in Woodcliff Lake, Park Ridge and Oradell, but Montvale was her home. She attended Pascack Hills High School and Fairleigh Dickinson University and was a member of Delta Gamma Phi sorority.
Linda enjoyed a successful career in the field of Information Technology, but in later years she found her true passion in the auto racing industry. She was appointed Regional Director of Timing and Scoring by the Sports Car Club of America, a position that required her to travel extensively to races around the country. Linda introduced the joys of racing to her partner Bart, who continues to work at events nationally as a tech official with TransAm. Linda was always ready to offer her help to anyone who could use it, and she was generous with her many talents. Her deft fingers produced beautiful cross-stitch pictures and intricate beaded jewelry, one of which - a necklace - is shown in this picture. Her vibrant personality will be missed by all who knew her.
Funeral arrangements are private and are being handled by Robert Spearing Funeral Home, Inc., Park Ridge, NJ rsfhi.com
A note from Ken Greco (July 21, 2022)
"I want to inform my the automobile friends of the passing of an amazing woman last night. Linda Louie was a dear friend of mini for over 50 years. In the SCCA racing community she was an incredible hard worker. I met her in college in 1970. As a student there she help start the Fairleigh Dickinson University Sports Car Club. I rallyed with her many many trips to Lime Rock Park Ct and Pocono Race track. In the mid 70s she started to to run the Timing and Scoring for both pro and national races. For 50 years she worked tirelessly to un the timing and scoring program. If you are not understanding of racing. Timing and Scoring is the only way racers know if the won a arace and where the finished. She will be missed RIP Linda"

I am The Flag which was sent to the Northern New Jersey and South Jersey Regions of the Sports Car Club of America in recognition of their combined donations to the National Park Service's Flight 93 National Memorial in 2012. I'm one of the United States flags which were flown over the Memorial, then sent to folks who had donated as a token of the Memorial’s appreciation. I arrived in New Jersey in August.
You all know about Linda Gronlund and Joe DeLuca who were two of the passengers on United Flight 93 back on September 11th in 2001. Linda and Joe were both very active members in the Sports Car Club of America. Read the full adventures of my travels across the globe, click on The Flag
