Linda's obituary
Melinda "Linda" Nantiya Overway - Grube 50, of Port Charlotte, FL passed away on Monday, September 16 2024 at Tampa General Hospital due to a brain aneurysm. She was born at US Air Force Base, Guam to Lawrence P. and Tida Overway on March 18, 1974. Linda moved to Austin, TX with her family at a young age.
Linda graduated from Bowie High School in 1992 and attended UT Austin. She then went to work for Marriott Hotels as a manager and director working in Nashville, TN, Tiverton, RI, and Austin, TX, where she met her husband, Paul Grube Sr., who was a long-term guest. Her outgoing personality, kindness to all, and her hard work ethic made her successful in her field.
Linda was an animal lover of most creatures big and small, especially her Australian cattle dog, "Nikki," who misses her greatly.
Linda was selfless and would lend a hand to anyone in need. She loved her family unconditionally and cherished her many friends.
She will be forever missed by her mother, Tida Overway, her brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Mei and their children, Jonathan, Jeremy, Joseph and Justin (all of Austin), her brother Paul Overway of Holland, MI, sister Nancy Overway, her loving husband Paul Grube Sr. of Port Charlotte, FL, Paul's son Jason Grube and wife Alexandra and their children Miles and Paige of Truckee CA, Paul Grube Jr. and wife Heather and future children of Westerly, RI, Paul's granddaughter Taylor Burgess of Dallas, TX and countless friends.
