Linda Weinstein Madden ’74

Linda died Sept. 7, 2021, in Bethesda, Md. 

The daughter of Jerald and Matilda Weinstein, she was born in Newark, N.J., and graduated from Verona High School. At Princeton she graduated from the Woodrow Wilson School, where her true passion was international relations, especially the Middle East. She spent a summer in Israel on a project interviewing the country’s leaders. Linda then went to George Washington University Law School, where she met her future husband of 42 years, Michael Madden. 

After clerking for a D.C. Court of Appeals judge, Linda worked at the Federal Trade Commission and then took a lengthy sabbatical to raise three children. She later dove into grant writing for the Jewish Social Service Agency and was director of development at Mobile Medical Care. She lived in Bethesda for 30 years and was active in the community as president of the local PTA and running Mobile Medical Care’s annual fundraiser. An avid reader, she cherished a cup of Starbucks coffee with her many friends. 

Linda is survived by her husband, Michael; children Jason, Joshua, and Emily; daughters-in-law Megan and Chelsea; grandchildren Caitlin, Caroline, Jackson, and Nora; brother Lyle; and sister Cindy.
