In addition to her husband and mother, Linda is survived by a daughter, Jennifer A. Herbst and husband, Brian of Seven Valleys; three sons, Jeremy A. Gruver, Justin A. Gruver and wife, Breanna, and Jesse A. Gruver and wife, Abby, all of Dover; six grandchildren, Logan and Dylan Herbst, Ella, Claire, Beau and Cameron Gruver; two sisters, Kathy Spahr and Roxine Seasock, both of Dover.
