Obituary For Linda Mae Pero
Linda Mae Pero was born February 3, 1947 in Norfolk, Virginia to Jonathan Booth and Annie Sue Davis. She died peacefully at 7:39 am on Sunday, July 3, 2016 in the San Francisco Bay area. At a young age, Linda professed to serve God, and in 2009, she renewed that vow, remaining true until her death. Linda is survived by her husband, Brad Pero; her daughter Gayle Weis and Gayle’s husband Deric; and her son, Richard Pero. She leaves behind two younger brothers, Paul Davis and John Davis, numerous nieces and nephews on both sides of the family, grandchildren, and a host of friends.
At the age of 21, Linda met Brad Pero, who came to Norfolk in the Navy. They were married three months later on December 14, 1968 and began their family in Virginia. They moved to California in July of 1983, and 13 years later, Brad and Linda moved to Denver, Colorado. After retirement in 2012, they relocated to Hayward, CA in the San Francisco Bay Area. Brad and Linda were quickly adopted into the Weis family and shared a special bond of fellowship with their Fremont church friends.
Last October, Linda was admitted to the hospital with an aggressive c-difficile infection that compromised her body. She spent the next four months in the hospital enduring various complications. During this time, she rarely complained, and many doctors and nurses commented on her beautiful spirit. After returning home in February, Linda enjoyed several family gatherings as well as a special visit with childhood friends from Virginia. Though weak in body, her one wish was realized when she attended both Buttonwillow and Mountain Ranch church conventions.
Two weeks ago, Linda had a bad fall, which resulted in a massive brain bleed. After surgery, she remained unresponsive, and recovery to a meaningful life was deemed unlikely. Family made the decision to fulfill Linda’s wishes of ‘Going Home’.
We will always cherish her life’s testimony.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, July 9th, from 10-11am and a Chapel Service will begin at 11:30am at Fremont Memorial Chapel, 3723 Peralta Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. Burial will be held on Tuesday, July 12th, 1pm at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery, 5810 Midway Rd., Dixon, CA 95620.

I have good memories of Linda as she was growing up, a few years behind Vernon and me. She was always laughing! Lots of good memories of her in her parents home! Brad, I know how hard this is...you feel like half of you has left! I find myself cheered though when I remember the wonderful days I had with Vernon. Love to you and the children. Sharon Batson

Brad, Gayle and Rick, we want to send our condolences to you all. When I look at her smiling face, it brings back our years in NY when you were home to see your NY family. We had some wonderful times of fellowship and memories with you. Linda was a very warm person so will be missed by many and especially her family. Our hearts go out to each of you with love and care, Brian and Linda Blair

I remember Linda from when she was a teen. I was visiting my Mother( Ida Rhodes) & brothers in Portsmouth. She was always a very friendly person. May all the Beautiful Memories you have of the times spent with her help to ease your sorrow.

I never met Linda, but I have heard such wonderful things about the Davis family - from Nita Riley and also Billy & Nita Thomas. She had a wonderful testimony. May this thought be a real comfort to you through the funeral and afterwards too. Betty Pike (Knoxville, Tennessee)

Bobby and I are trying to wrap our mind around the fact that our dear friend and sister in Christ is no longer with us. Our love and deepest sympathy is with you, Brad, as well as Gayle, Deri, Paul and Richard. We will never forget the wonderful years we shared with your family while living in Norfolk/Virginia Beach and the special memories we made together will be with us forever. May you all know the comfort of the loving God we serve during this very difficult time.

What a beautiful picture of Linda!! It's been a long time since we've seen Linda in person, but there is no change. Her smile was still vibrant and full of sunshine! This picture of Linda is full of joy! We are thankful for our memories of her and your family. They are still as fresh as they were years ago. We wish we could be with you and your family on Saturday, but you know we don't have to be there in person to be with you - and in coming days. We're glad, too, for the strength of her testimony, and what it has meant to so many people. We hope this will be a comfort to you now and always. All our love to Brad, Gayle and Deric and Deric's family, and Richard, and Paul. Lovingly, Billy and Nita Thomas

Brad, Kris and I send our love and care to you and the family. Shocked us. Was really glad, especially now, that we got a couple of short visits with you both at Buttonwillow. Stay strong, you will be in our thoughts. Love, Dean and Kris

Brad and family, I'm so very sad to hear of Linda's passing. I have always held special memories of our LA days and the meetings together at Gustafson's. May you feel the tender comfort only God can provide and know you are deeply cared for in heart. --Karleen Cotter Fairview, Oregon
