As I reported here earlier, after a brief battle with cancer, Linda Scarberry died on Sunday morning, March 6th, 2011.
I knew that her maiden name was McDaniel, and that she was no longer married to Roger Scarberry. But not until I was in Point Pleasant over this last weekend did I realize that her formal published obituary was written under the name “Norman.” I was expecting the local newspapers to discuss her passing, as she was such an important spokesperson for the first sighting of Mothman, but none have noted her death.

Above is a screen capture of the Scarberry Mothman incident from The Mothman Prophecies.

I want to share the two Linda Scarberry obituary mentions I did discover, which do have further info about the specifics of her life.

Roger Scarberry survives Linda, as well. Roger has routinely refused on-camera interviews on the Mothman incident, in recent years.
