Kasem and Linda Myers tied the knot in 1972, and to this marriage, they were blessed with 3 children. While they separated in early 1979, they officially divorced the same year and Kasem soon married Jean Thompson in 1980.
The couple were married, they had one child together and he died in 2014. Anyway, as less public information is available regarding Linda in contrast to Casey’s second wife, Jean Thompson, she occupied a rather important place in his life during the seventies.
Divorce
After the divorce Fred changed alot regarding his public life while his ex-wife, Linda, kept a very low profile after the divorce. Nevertheless, she continued to maintain a healthy relationship with Casey with their children as the link. Linda and the children were involved in a very messy legal battle with Jean once Casey developed Lewy body dementia and was not in a healthy state anymore.

Cohabitors tend to stress role relationships and especially the roles that were given to them by their mother and father. While grossly may not be as famous as Casey Kasem, being the mother to Casey Kasem’s elder children associates her with a significant part of American radio legacy.
