Linda Mockeridge Obituary
June 26, 1949 - October 10, 2025
Legend has it that sometime in 1977, Linda Mockeridge of Pittsburgh, PA took a trip to San Antonio and never left.
Before her life in S.A., Linda was a Franciscan Nun for eight years, working as a teacher and youth advocate. In Texas, she continued her work as a youth minister at parishes in Helotes. Always a spiritual seeker, Linda left the Catholic Church and took her vows as a Buddhist in 1995.
Linda is a graduate of UTSA and OLLU, where she earned her Masters in Social Work. As a proud Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she was a fixture in the San Antonio helping community. She was creative in her work - blazing trails to offer service to those incarcerated, in addition to her psychotherapy practice.
Around S.A., Linda was known for many things: a gigging upright bass player, a meditation instructor, a lover of animals and the outdoors, and an engaged Democrat who believed deeply in voting access and rights.
Linda has two children, Heather (Robert) and Scott (Julia), three grandchildren, Angel, Martin, and Josie, ten brothers and sisters, and countless nieces, nephews, and friends. Her playful spirit will live on among those who loved her.

Linda shared her expertise, compassion and stories with incarcerated women participated in the MATCH program at Bexar County Jail. She made a difference for many women, and I greatly appreciated her friendship and mentorship. Condolences to her family and community.

My condolences to her family. I knew Linda through a social work supervision group. We were very different and we didn't try to change each other. There is beauty in acceptance.

My sincere condolences to Linda's family and other friends. I first met Linda in 2018 when I was elected branch chair for the National Association of Social Workers' (NASW) here in San Antonio. Linda was active, caring, super helpful and a joy to work with. She will be sorely missed in this life, but I know she will continue to progress to better things in her next one!

Linda was an excellent teacher of meditation, just when I needed it. She touched many lives, including my own.

In the 7 years I knew Linda, we had many adventures and shared experiences, from co-teaching workshops, to joining a walking group, to doing Qi Gong in the park during the Pandemic. Most recently, we were Rally/March buddies. I had to yell extra loud 10/18 in her honor! I miss you, my friend

One of our favorite foods to eat was mussels with French fries. These mussels were plucked right from the Tómales Bay in Marín county.
We went back to my apt in SF. Mom made French fries from scratch (how I learned you´re supposed to soak potatoes before frying) we cooked these mussels in white wine and herbs. We both would comment years later how no other mussel could complete with these!
