Funeral Services Set For Ex-ACC And Philly Star Linda Page

(Guru's note: There is another tidbit post on the news of the day above this but given the nature of this topic, the Guru did not want to mix the two in the same post.)

By Mel Greenberg

The Guru has received and been told to pass along information about funeral services for former Dobbins High and North Carolina State star Linda Page, who died last week, reportedly of a heart attack at age 48.

Information on Page's passing was posted here in the Guru's blog and he also authored a print obituary for The Philadelphia Inquirer Sports Section in Thursday's editions of 10-6-11, which can be found on a goggle search in Philly,com.

In 1981 Page scored 100 points in a high school game for Dobbins High, which is also the alma mater of Dawn Staley, in the Public League to set the local school record for both boys and girls, eclipsing the 90 points scored by the late great Wilt Chamberlain in 1955 for Overbrook High.

She went on to star for the late Hall of Famer Kay Yow at North Carolina State, then played overseas and won a championship in Spain before returning to Philadelphia where she spent 10 years as a juvenile probation officer helping youngsters at risk.

She also had a shooting clinic in Yeadon, Pa., in suburban Delaware County, which had continued until her recent passing and Page also authored a book a year ago about her life.

Funeral services will be Saturday, Oct. 15, at Resurrection Methodist Church art 6204 Lindbergh Blvd in Southwest Philadelphia at the corner of 62nd and Dicks Streets. It is not far from the Philadephia Airport.
