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.
