Linda A. Savinski
Linda A. Savinski 69, of Wyoming, Pa. left this world to start her New Journey December 17, 2025, peacefully with family by her side at Allied Hospice Care in Wilkes Barre after a long battle with her health.
She was born in Wilkes Barre, Pa. to the late Barbara Hetro and Alexander Savinski. Raised along with her four sisters in Swoyersville, later moving to West Wyoming, fathered by Barbara's second husband George Hetro. Linda graduated from Wyoming Valley West High School and attended college at Penn State Lehman. She spent her younger years working in the Pocono Mountain Resorts where she met the father of her son Christopher. After having her son Chris, later nicknamed Kamala, Linda moved back to the Wyoming Valley to raise her son and worked as a Hair Stylist at an array of local Salons. She would eventually go on to work at Techneglass in Pittston until the plant closed in 2005. With adversity at her door, she accepted the challenge and graduated with a medical transcription degree from Luzerne County Community College, reinventing herself as an office worker. She eventually went on to secure a job with the Social Security Administration where she worked until retirement at age 65.
Linda was also known as MizMala to some of her son's friends, and Bunny to close friends and family after the infamous "Aunt Bunny". She loved music of all kinds. Attended countless concerts, taking her young son with her to many, almost always with her sidekick and long-time best friend Doreen. Plans for a good time where never missing from Linda's calendar, whether it was volunteering at music festivals, making a lunch or dinner date with friends, going thru old pictures while the cookies baked in the oven, taking the grandkids on an adventure, kicking back in her camping chair at a creekside Bluegrass concert, or most recently just chilling at home to some Grateful Dead. She was the "glue" in the family. Always hosting Christmas and /or Thanksgiving Dinner, Easter, never to let the family drift apart. The May Parties, backyard BBQ's, birthdays and any other reason she could think of to get the family together.
Her son Chris was the light of her life who brought her even more joy when he and Ariana had two children, Christyana and Annalyse. She doted over her granddaughters like there was no tomorrow. She found her greatest joy in spending time with them, and seeing them prosper.
Bunny, like her mother, also had a knack for knitting and crocheting. She would set up shop at the local craft shows and flea markets to sell her "soft stuff". People especially loved her "Kush Gush" slippers, and afghans.
She is preceded in death by her Parents Barbarba Hetro, George Hetro (stepdad), Alexander Savinski, Grand Parents, nephew Lamar, niece Sharae, great nephews, Xander and Levi.
She is survived by her son, Christopher (Kamala) Towns and Ariana of Wyoming with whom she lived. Siblings; Susan Savinski of Pittston, Joanne Savinski of Swoyersville, Michele Reap (Mike) of W. Wyoming, Lisa Yerka (Tony) of Taylor, grand-children Christyana and Annalyse, several nieces and nephews, her fur baby Guss and her many friends she met along the way who we consider family.
She left a mark on so many hearts. She will be deeply missed by all who love her.
Bunny, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED, FOREVER MISSED, NEVER FORGOTTEN!
"Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, and very dear." - Alex MacLean
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
The service for Linda will be at the convenience of the family and entrusted to Metcalfe Shaver Kopcza Funeral Home Inc., 504 Wyoming Ave., Wyoming.
