Linda was not only one of ODB’s founding members, but truly one of our biggest supporters from the very beginning. She was always so kind and supportive, and whenever I had a vet question, she was always willing to offer advice or help.
Linda and her family were familiar faces around ODB on the weekends in the early years, usually with her beloved rescue Puggles by her side. Many of you probably remember her Puggles from the unmistakable screams they would let out while she gave them baths... something that always made us lol.
She loved her dogs deeply, supported ODB wholeheartedly, and was such a special part of our community over the years. It’s hard to imagine not seeing her and her family walk through our doors again.
Life is just too darn short. We are so grateful Linda was part of the ODB family, and we’re sending so much love to her family and everyone who loved her. ❤️
It is with great sadness that we must share with you today that our friend, colleague, and practice owner, Dr. Linda Rock-Paul, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday. The news is a tremendous shock to everyone on the Bellevue Animal Hospital team, as we know it will be to many of you as well.
Linda joined our practice in 1992 immediately after graduation from the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine, and became a co-owner in 2003. Over the past 34 years, she saved the lives of countless pets, shared with clients the joy and excitement of new puppies and kittens, and shed tears with many when those pets reached the end of their journeys here with us. Linda's passing is a devastating loss to us all.
We will share funeral details with you as we know them, and contact any clients for whom we may need to reschedule appointments, but at this time we ask for your grace, patience and understanding as we navigate through this difficult time.
