Nitkewicz, Linda Kaimins Linda Kaimins Nitkewicz 1953 ~ 2005 My Wife. My Life. "Someplace where there isn't any trouble. You suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be! It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away... behind the moon... beyond the rain... somewhere over the rainbow." Our beloved wife, kind friend, daughter and sister has gone to that place. Linda was born April 14, 1953 in Shipley, England to Arthur and Milda Kaimins. She left us July 30, 2005, too young and too soon, after a valiant and gracious two-year battle with brain cancer, a struggle which rendered the left half of her body paralyzed. We have lost a courageous and indomitable spirit that brightened our world. Linda and her parents immigrated to Buffalo, New York, where she spent her formative years and became a naturalized citizen. She moved to Los Angeles, California where she put herself through California State at Los Angeles, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology, specializing in chemistry. She worked for many years at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. Linda met the love of her life, John Nitkewicz, when she traveled to Utah for a training class in 1989. They pursued a long-distance romance before beginning their adventure together here in Salt Lake City in 1991. They married in 1997 and their lives were blessed with kindness, love and laughter. The friendship bonds they forged together will never be broken. Linda was most recently employed at ARUP Laboratories. She respected and admired the organization and spoke of her fellow co-workers with affection and gratitude. Linda leaves behind her dearly loved husband, John (from whom we have learned the true meaning of love); her loving pet dogs, Bryn (the regal one) and Maggie (the one who wants world peace); her loving and devoted friends who feel lost without her; her mother, Milda; and sisters, Laura and Inis. Although we all hated to see Linda leave us, we did not want her to suffer any longer. We will forever have memories of her fiery spirit reflected in her long, auburn hair, the kindness that shown so brilliantly in her eyes, the stubborn set of her chin, and her love of rock and roll. We will remember and admire Linda's charitable work. During her challenge with cancer, she was able to give the community her time and resources to help the underprivileged. We will never forget her memorable parties that were life celebrations with individual party favors, deviled eggs, and Latvian cooking. We will continue to celebrate her life every New Year's Day, remembering past holidays. We wish to thank Dr. Deborah Blumenthal at Huntsman Cancer Institute for the medical care she provided. We also wish to thank the Community Nursing Services Hospice program and the loving caregivers and volunteers who helped make Linda's final days more comfortable. For those wishing to celebrate her life, there will be a viewing at Garner Funeral Home, 1001 11th Avenue, Salt Lake City Tuesday, August 2nd from 6-8 pm. Services will be Wednesday August 3rd with a morning viewing from 11-12 noon followed by a short memorial service. Interment, Mt. Olivet Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in Linda's honor to Best Friends Animal Society, www.bestfriends.org or Community Nursing Services www.cnsvna.org will be appreciated. And finally, yes Linda, we do love your art. Now it's time for you and Schatzi to run with the angels. Published in the Deseret News from 8/1/2005 - 8/2/2005.
