TRYNIECKI, LINDA RITCHIE
Linda Ritchie Tryniecki, a resident of Amite, died at 8:15 am on Tuesday, 
September 24, 2013 at North Oaks Medical Center in Hammond. She was born 
November 23, 1948 in Bogalusa and was 64 years of age. Linda was a devoted 
wife, a loving mother, grandmother and a faithful friend. Her memory will 
be cherished by her loving husband, Jim Tryniecki of Amite; her daughters 
Melissa Bordelon and husband Nic, Mandeville; Debbie Gallagher and husband 
Mike, Alexandria; Angela Tryniecki of Mandeville; eight grandchildren: 
Kelsey, Bryce and Karley Bordelon of Mandeville; Madison, Kaitlyn and Shawn 
Gallagher of Alexandria; Alex and Adam Dumestre of Mandeville; and a 
sister, Juanita Trout and husband Larry of Red Deer, Alberta Canada. She is 
preceded in death by her parents Robert Virgil and Nita Ritchie of 
Bogalusa. Linda devoted her professional life to the countless students 
that she taught and teachers that she mentored over her 26 year career. She 
earned both her BachelorŐs and Master's degrees in Education from 
Southeastern Louisiana University. Her first few years of teaching found 
her at Amite Elementary, Holy Ghost Catholic School and Merryland 
Kindergarten and PreSchool. She then found her home at Mater Dolorosa 
Catholic School in Independence where she taught Kindergarten and 2nd grade 
for eight years. Her desire to help Mater Dolorosa flourish brought her out 
of the classroom and into the leadership role as Principal of Mater 
Dolorosa for six years. These years spent with the students, teachers and 
families of Mater Dolorosa Parish were her most cherished. After retiring 
from her role as Principal, she returned to her alma mater of Southeastern 
to share her expertise and experience as an Instructor and University 
Supervisor of Student Teachers for six years. She always expressed her joy 
in being able to mentor these future educators. The family wishes to thank 
the doctors and ICU nursing staff of North Oaks Hospital for their devoted 
care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Linda Tryniecki 
Scholarship established for Mater Dolorosa Catholic School set up at Chase 
Bank. Visitation will be held at McKneely Funeral Home in Amite, from 
6:00 pm until 9:00 pm on Thursday, September 26, 2013 and at St. Helena 
Catholic Church, Amite, from 8 am until Religious Services at 10:00 am on 
Friday, September 27, 2013. Services will be conducted by Fr. Mark Beard. 
Interment will be at St. Dominic Cemetery in Husser. For an online
