Linda Miedzinski Caldwell (Age 84)
Memorial service info
Our beloved mother has been called home. Linda Miedzinski Caldwell passed suddenly on Saturday, 8/24/2024, three days after her 84th birthday. We are grateful that she did not suffer and is now with those that she loved that have passed before her.
Linda was born in Washington, D.C. to the late Stephen Miedzinski and Nellie Maure Miedzinski. She was preceded in death by her husband, William B. Caldwell (Bill or Slats). She is survived by her sister and husband, Joan Miedzinski Friend (Lawrence) of Nebraska. She is also survived by her children and spouses, Lisa Caldwell Garrett (Stephen) of Bedford, Virginia and William (Bill) and Kerri Hester Caldwell of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Linda is also survived by five grandchildren that she adored, Lindsay, Danny, Molly, Alex and Sarah.
Linda enjoyed life and loved to laugh. She was the type of person that could also laugh at herself, which is a blessing. Her greatest wish for her friends and family was that they were happy.
Linda was a very talented and capable person. After graduating from Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington, D. C., she went on to complete her education at the Washington School for Secretaries. She took a job as a secretary in Washington D. C., where she met her husband over the phone. After their marriage, they moved to Arlington and started a family. Next, they joined with other business associates and opened Interstate Electric Supply Company in Merrifield. Linda played a large part in the company’s beginning and thought of the other partners and employees as family. After a while, she was able to concentrate on her young children. She and Slats had a house built on the Potomac River in Lorton, where they would spend many happy years. Linda loved living in Lorton and particularly loved the river and the wildlife surrounding their home. She made life-long friends and was involved in the community. Linda was also captivated by the history of the area. She worked at Gunston Hall Plantation, nearby, for many years as a tour guide. She painstakingly decorated the plantation house for Christmas for many years and was interviewed on the radio for her work. Linda eventually opened The Coffee House of Occoquan. Her business gave her great joy. She enjoyed meeting the customers and made many, many friends.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
