Dear friends of the Canterbury House at IU Bloomington,
We are sad to share the news that the Rev. Dr. Linda Johnson, our former chaplain and priest, passed away on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026.
The Rev. Mary Taflinger, Missioner for Pastoral Care for the Diocese of Indianapolis, writes: "The Rev. Linda's wife, the Rev. Dr. Sue Carter, said that a decline in Linda's+ health resulted in her entering hospice care just a few days prior to her death. Funeral arrangements are pending. We give thanks for Linda's ministry and pray for the repose of her soul and the comfort of her wife, Sue, and for all who loved her."
"O God, who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death, and brought life and immortality to light: Grant that your servant Linda, being raised with him, may know the strength of his presence, and rejoice in his eternal glory; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen."
"Most merciful God, whose wisdom is beyond our understanding: Deal graciously with Sue and Linda's family in their grief. Surround them with your love, that they may not be overwhelmed by their loss, but have confidence in your goodness, and strength to meet the days to come; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
"May Linda rest in peace and rise in glory!"
