of Leslie, AR

August 8, 1945 - August 4, 2021

Linda Ann Kardiak, age 75 of Leslie, Arkansas passed from this life on Wednesday, August 4th, 2021 at her home. She was born in Glendale, California on August 8th, 1945 to Larry Scarborough and Evelyn Coles Scarborough.

Linda was a registered nurse and worked for many years in California, Louisiana, and Arkansas. After retirement, she continued her studies and stayed up to date on all medical treatments and procedures. She became a certified massage therapist specializing in Reiki. She loved learning and healing, practicing a holistic approach in her therapies. She worked at LA Salon for the last 15 years. Her natural caregiver's heart made her a needful and necessary addition to her work family. Linda enjoyed reading, whether for learning or pleasure. She was an avid animal lover and her large menagerie of different pets including an emu, peafowl, pigs, horses, and many other varieties of the animal kingdom was a testament to this love. Her three dogs, four cats, miniature horse, goat, donkey, and a rescued wild turkey will miss her love and care.

Survivors include her children, Kenneth Kardiak of California, Shannon Kardiak of Little Rock, and Jennifer Kardiak of New York; her siblings, Larry Scarborough of Texas and Doris Higgins of Colorado; four nephews; one niece; her partner, Peter Bartlett of the home; and many friends who will miss her greatly.

Linda is preceded in death by her parents, Larry and Evelyn Scarborough; and one sister, Darla Balandran.

No services are planned at this time.
