Melinda "Linda" Nantiya Overway-Grube

March 18, 1974 - September 16, 2024

A Celebration of life has been planned for November 2, 2024, in Austin, Texas. Details have been shared on her Face Book page.

Melinda “Linda” Nantiya Overway-Grube,50, of Port Charlotte, Florida passed away on Monday, September 16, 2024, at Tampa General Hospital due to a brain aneurysm.

Linda was born at US Naval Base, Guam to Lawrence P. and Tida Overway on March 18, 1974. Linda moved to Austin, TX with her family at a young age.

Linda graduated from Bowie High School in 1992 and attended University of Texas at Austin. She then went to work for Marriott Hotels as a manager and director working in Nashville, Tennessee, Tiverton, Rhode Island, and Austin, Texas, where she met her husband, Paul Grube Sr., who was a long-term guest. Her outgoing personality, kindness to all, and her hard work ethic, made her successful in her field.

Linda was an animal lover of most creatures big and small, especially her Australian cattle dog, “Nikki,” who misses her greatly. Linda was selfless and would lend a hand to anyone in need. She loved her family unconditionally and cherished her many friends.

She will be forever missed by her mother, Tida Overway, her brother, Mike (Mei) and their children, Jonathan, Jeremy, Joseph and Justin (all of Austin), her brother Paul Overway of Holland, MI, sister Nancy Overway, her loving husband Paul Grube Sr of Port Charlotte, Florida, Paul’s son Jason Grube (Alexandra) and their children Miles and Paige of Truckee California, Paul Grube Jr. (Heather) and future children of Westerly, Rhode Island, Paul’s granddaughter Taylor Burgess of Dallas, Texas and countless friends.

Linda was preceded in death by her father Lawrence Overway and Jennifer Grube. Linda donated her organs to give the gift of life to others. May she rest in peace.

Our family would like to send our sincere thanks for the compassionate care, Linda received at Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin, Sarasota Memorial Hospital and Tampa General Hospital.

We never had the opportunity or pleasure to meet Linda due to distance. Paul and Frank worked many tours of duty with FEMA, becoming close and continuous friends. As such, we came to "know" Linda through many phone conversations from miles apart. Their love and dedication to each other was obvious during those calls. We had talked at the time when we would all meet up, but that plan never came to fruition, and we are greatly saddened by that. Paul, we are here for you, love you, and greatly feel your loss. Your love for Linda, the times you both shared, your family and friends, will get you through this heartbreaking experience. Nikki will be your constant companion and living connection to Linda. Linda resides now in the care and comfort of our Lord God Almighty. Frank and Sandie Young Cincinnati, Ohio

It was not very long ago that we became neighbors with Paul and Linda. It was very easy to become friends because Linda was alway kind and generous in her ways and anyone that knew her was in awe of her strength and love for life. She was loved and will be missed by so many. Our hearts are broken for you Paul and Nikki… Rest In Peace Linda ❤️ John, Rose, Sadie, and Roxy

Miss you my beautiful friend.

Losing someone you love is like losing a part of your self. You miss them and you miss who you were with them. Nothing will ever replace that. But hopefully every time we all share a memory, recall a moment of laughter, or find ourself doing something that reminds us of the time we had. Hopefully one day we can find the comfort in the remembering.

Paul, We both are so sorry for you and your family’s loss and we hope your wonderful memories help get you through these tough times. Anything you need let us know. Love, Mark & Brenda Mitsko.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Bryan and I feel blessed to have called Linda a wonderful friend for many , many years, she truly always had a smile on her face and was always to happy to help if there was someone in need! This world is going to miss her beautiful soul but Heaven has truly gained an angel. RIP my beautiful friend , until we meet again to enjoy a margarita together in Heaven!

We are all so sad about Linda’s passing. She was so kind and had a heart of gold, especially with Scott. Prayers for Paul, her Mom and her entire family. ❤️

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
