February 11, 1945 - December 11, 2013
Linda was born February 11,
1945, in Hesperus, Colorado to
Debs Winston Paulek and Alice
Edna Paulek. After a long fight
with cancer, she left this life on
December 11, 2013, with loved
ones at her side. She was 68.
Linda was raised in the Durango
area and attended Durango High
School. While living in Alliance,
Nebraska, she met and married
Robert Matticks. They had three daughters, Anna, Lori and Bonnie.
During their marriage they also lived in Durango, Colorado and
then settled in Grand Junction, Colorado. She was a wonderful
mother and friend. She loved raising her girls and then helping with
her grandsons. She found great joy in traveling and spending time
with family and friends.
Linda found her calling late in life when she began her career as
a caregiver. She found much joy and peace in taking care of others.
In 2011, she received the Caregiver of the Year award from her
employer, Comfort Keepers. She was very honored and surprised
by this, as she didn’t see what she did as any thing extraordinary. To
her she was just doing what she loved, what she was meant to do.
Survivors include daughters, Bonnie Matticks, Austin, Texas, and
Anna Matticks, Grand Junction; grandsons, Robert and Christopher
Matticks, Grand Junction; brother, Fred Paulek, Hesperus,
Colorado, and sister, Loretta Lee Paulek, Hesperus, Colorado; as
well as many beloved nephews, nieces, cousins and friends. Her
daughter, Lori Matticks preceded her in death.
Memorial services will be on Tuesday, December 17, 2013, at 2:00
p.m. in Grand Junction at the Canyon View Vineyards Church. She
will be interred at Greenmont Cemetery in Durango, Colorado.
Donations can be made to HopeWest Grand Valley.
