Linda K. (Dendler) Pollock

Linda K. (Dendler) Pollock, 78, of Berwick, passed away peacefully in her home on Tuesday, October 19, 2021.  Born in Berwick on November 25, 1942, she was a daughter to the late Harry E. and Florence “Polly” (Stiner) Dendler.

Linda was a graduate of Central Columbia High School, Class of 1960.  In 1966, she wed Merritt F.
