Linda Myers-Drei

Linda Myers-Drei was born at Harrisburg Hospital and raised in Tower City, Pennsylvania, the beloved daughter of Joan and LeMar Myers. She attended Williams Valley High School before earning her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Bloomsburg State University.

Linda was a woman of determination, ambition, and many talents. In the early 2000s, she built a successful career in the technology sector, selling consulting services to large enterprises throughout Central Pennsylvania. She later brought her business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to Pennsylvania Business and Technology Digest, a magazine where she worked alongside her soon-to-be husband, Mike, helping to market and grow the publication’s events business.

Linda continued her professional journey with the Central Pennsylvania Technology Council, where she helped advance revenue and membership during her time there. Her ability to build relationships, recognize opportunities, and turn ideas into action was a defining part of her career.

At one point, Linda stepped away from the workforce to care for her ailing parents, Joan and LeMar. She devoted herself to making sure they received the best possible care, giving her time and energy to the people who had meant so much to her throughout her life. Her commitment to her parents reflected the loyalty and love she held for her family.

Linda’s entrepreneurial spirit continued when she and Mike founded Frozen Woofy’s, an organic dog-treat company born from their shared love of animals. Their products were sold at Wegmans, Whole Foods, and nearly one hundred regional pet stores. What began as an idea grew into a successful business, showcasing Linda’s creativity, determination, and willingness to pursue something of her own.

Later in life, Linda found a calling that brought together her passion for her community, her convictions, and her desire to make a difference. She dedicated countless hours to regional and state political campaigns, supporting races for school board, state representative, state senate, and Congress. She also served for nearly 10 years as a Republican State Committee member representing the 92nd District.

Linda approached her community involvement with the same tenacity she brought to every part of her life. When she believed in something, she gave it her time, her energy, and her unwavering commitment. She worked to help others become involved in the political process and took pride in the people and causes she supported.

Beyond her professional and community accomplishments, Linda’s greatest joys were often found in the animals she loved and the memories she made with her family. She had a lifelong passion for horses and dogs. During her daughter Laura’s teenage years, Linda and Laura spent several successful years showing horses on the Mid-Atlantic Paint Horse circuit. Those years created lasting memories and a special bond between mother and daughter.

Linda’s love for animals extended throughout her life. She and Mike shared several generations of Border Collies, each becoming part of their family. Her affection for animals was not limited to horses and dogs; she even had an iguana named Ralph, who lived to be more than 22 years old. Ralph was just one of the many unique and memorable companions who made Linda’s life so special.

One thing people who were close to her often commented on were her unforgettable hugs. With bright eyes and a beautiful smile, she wrapped her arms tightly around your shoulders and pulled you close, making you feel like the only person in the world. The warmth of her embrace lingered long after the greeting.

Linda was a woman who lived with purpose, pursued her passions, and gave herself wholeheartedly to the people and causes she loved.

Linda is survived by her husband, Michael; her daughter, Laura; her brother, Kurt; and her grandchildren, Easton and Harper. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family, friends, and the many people whose lives she touched.
