Linda Moore-Heck
08/04/2015

Linda Moore–Heck of Oak Ridge NJ passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on August 4, 2015. She fought a courageous battle with cancer for 13 years and defied the odds of modern medicine while maintaining her beauty, spirit, grace and dignity. She was 57.

Raised in Ringwood NJ, she is survived by her loving parents Maria and Robert Moore of Warwick, formerly of Ringwood and her heartbroken husband Klaus Heck of Barnegat NJ.  Also surviving are her cherished stepsons Mike Heck, wife Natalie and grandson Nicholas of Chicago, and Chris Heck, wife Jill and granddaughter Cameron of PA, as well as her loving sister Patricia Wenman and husband Richard and her niece and nephew Christiana and Andrew Wenman of Warwick.

Linda Worked 19 years at Meadox Medicals in Oakland, NJ where she rose to the position of Manager of Human Resources before joining Estee Lauder as a Director of Human Resources, for Aramis where she worked 16 years.

She sat next to Evelyn Lauder as the poster child for their company at many pink ribbon dinners. Their support of her during her treatments and illness was exemplary.

Anyone knowing Linda will remember her for the warm smile that could light up a room and the countless acts of kindness that she bestowed on all who loved her.

I worked with Linda at Estée and she was an amazing person in so many ways. She was so smart, intuitive and beautiful inside and out. I just found out about her passing today and I am so heartbroken. She always recognized my efforts and would go out of her way to tell me what a good job I had done. It always meant the world to me because I had so much respect for her. I am so sorry for your loss and I pray that time helps all of you heal.

When someone important or special passes, we often hear things being said such as “She was an angel among us” or “now heaven has another angel.” To say these things about Linda would be true, but would also be a major understatement. She really was one of the best, most amazing human beings I have ever had the honor of knowing, working with, and most importantly, calling my friend. Words cannot express just how smart, kind, savvy and beautiful she was, both inside and out. There are not enough words to adequately describe what a strong and admirable person she was. She had such tremendous strength and determination, only matched by her up-beat and positive attitude, as she fought this evil monster that was ravaging inside her, year after year. Without complaining! I was in awe of her. This woman should serve as an inspiration to us all: the way she led her life, being kind and fair to people, but at the same time, being a strong businesswoman who wouldn’t take anyone’s BS. She loved her family and friends and if you were lucky enough to be close to her, you knew you could count on her to help you when you needed it. She gave the absolute best advice one could ever be lucky enough to be the recipient of. Linda, my old friend, I miss you dearly. You were taken from us way too early and way too young and the world is a sadder place without you in it. Your early passing really is a loss to society and humanity. I will not allow a day to go by without paying homage to you. I will strive to live my life how you did, as we all should in your honor. You will always be in my thoughts and in my heart.

Linda was one of the nicest people I ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. I worked with Linda for 16 years at Estée Lauder. She always had a kind word and encouragement for me no matter what was going on in my life. I will truly miss her and always remember what she did for me and others. My life is better for being fortunate enough to have had her in it.

Linda was one of the sweetest, kindest person I've had the pleasure knowing in my 39 years at Aramis. I kept in touch with her via email all through out our illness she was always there for me whenever I needed someone to talk to always helping me to keep my spirits up. After my first stay in the hospital she was there for me while I was struggling to get back in the swing of work and the changes that took place while I was out. I always tried to be a shoulder for her to lean on if she needed someone to talk to. Even though she wasn't feeling well she always managed to have a smile on her face.
