In Memoriam: Linda Hughes (1946-2014)

Linda L. Hughes, CPCU, CPIA, CPIW, passed away last week. Linda was senior Resource Center representative, having joined the Professional Insurance Agents of Ohio (PIA), now PIAA, in 2000. Linda was a highly respected, well-connected woman with a positive, joyful energy. This year marked her 50th year in an industry that became her home, family and passion.

“Those of you who knew Linda’s spirituality and her values know that she felt blessed in her life and career,” said PIAA CEO George W. Haenszel. “When she left the carrier side of the business, Linda told me that she simply wanted to help people. Thankfully, she came to PIAA. She was committed to passing her good fortune on to others and was especially partial to counseling young people at the beginning of their careers. She helped many of us ‘gray-haired’ kids along the way too.”
