Linda Gordon, the wife of Gemini and Apollo astronaut Richard Gordon, died on Tuesday (Sept. 12), according to the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.
It is with sadness that we share that Dick Gordon's wife, Linda, has passed away this afternoon. He has been a loving husband, devoted to her care for several years. He asked us to share this news with the ASF Family.

I am very sorry to hear this sad news. I met Linda Gordon in Cocoa Beach in June, 2007, after the launch of STS-117. She was charming, beautiful, very knowledgeable about space, and very clearly Dick Gordon's No. 1 fan.

Very, very sad. I saw Linda most recently in April and her spirit was bright as ever! Dick is a true and very genuine class act and I feel deeply saddened for his loss. God speed...

This is very sad news. I have fond memories of being seated at Richard and Linda's table at the 2007 UACC dinner, she struck me as very warm and charming. My thoughts are with Dick Gordon.
