Grieving friends and relatives have paid tribute to a young nurse whose life was tragically cut short in a crash on her way to work in Narrogin. Jennylin Linao, 27, has been remembered as a funny, compassionate and talented woman who died far too young on Wednesday, April 15. Ms Linao was travelling from Mandurah to Narrogin when her white Mazda3 left the road and struck a tree on Wandering-Pingelly Road about 6.15am. The beloved Filipino nurse died at the scene, about 40 minutes from Narrogin. Ms Linao started in her role as a registered nurse at Residency by Dillons on October 10. She used to commute between Narrogin and Mandurah, staying in Narrogin when she was rostered on for her shifts — at least five days per week — and returning to her aunt and uncle’s home in Mandurah on her days off.
