Life & Legacy
Linda Kay Button crafted a vibrant life marked by creativity, unwavering family devotion, and a passion for beauty that touched everyone she encountered, from her early days in Indianapolis to her sunlit years in Arizona.
Born in Indianapolis to Tom and Kay Whitcomb, Linda welcomed her brother Mark into the family seven and a half years later. Growing up on the city's North side, she blazed trails as part of the inaugural senior class at the newly built North Central High School, graduating in 1964. Her journey took her to Approved Beauty College, launching a career styling hair in Broad Ripple. Marriage to high school sweetheart Jack Aldrich brought two sons and a first home, enduring even as Jack served in Vietnam and later pursued accounting. Following a remarriage, Linda ventured to Tucson with her boys, building a thriving home and salon on the east side. In 1993, wedding bells rang again with Dale Button, drawing her to Corona de Tucson where she flourished with Corona's Cut Above Hair Salon for 15 years. Retirement ushered in RV adventures across America alongside Dale, a dream fueled by their shared wanderlust, until his passing in 2017. Through it all, Linda's artistic flair shone in murals adorning her homes and shops, while her spirit danced to the tunes of Karen Carpenter, Johnny Mathis, and Percy Faith's holiday orchestrations. Her Christian faith anchored her, filling Sundays with joyful gatherings at church.
Linda's professional path as a hairdresser and salon owner spanned decades, starting in Broad Ripple and evolving into a nail and hair haven in Tucson before peaking with her beloved Corona's Cut Above in Corona de Tucson. She nurtured her community through personalized care and entrepreneurial grit, sustaining a successful business for 15 years and creating spaces beautified by her own mural artistry.
