Linda A. Vetter, 87, of Fruita,
CO, passed away on Tuesday,
February 11, 2020, at her home
in Fruita.
She was born October 31,
1932, a daughter of the late
Harold and Viola Myers of
Loveland, Colorado.
She was a housewife and
mother of two whose love for
animals was legendary. She
enjoyed crocheting afghans, knitting baby clothes and blankets as
well as greeting card designs which were all generously distributed
to family, friends, and any in need of a little hand-made love.
Fishing, boating, and camping with her family were all part of her
joy, as well. She was mentor and confidant to many younger girls
and women who will remember her friendship and guidance with
love and gratitude, softening the turbulence of youth with a gentle
touch and an open ear.
Her Christian faith and prayers reeled in many a prodigal over
the years, I, her son, more than any, am a living testament, ever
thankful for her faithfulness to our Savior.
Her great passion from early childhood, was four-legged beasts
of every design, stripe and persuasion. Hundreds of creatures, great
and small, were loved, cared for and spoiled under Linda’s wing,
but her heart truly belonged to horses. She was in equine bliss
whenever she could stick a boot toe in the stirrup and ride. None
more blissful than spending long hours with her best pal, quarter
horse Rocky.
Linda is survived by her devoted husband of 67 years, Gordon
L. Vetter; son, Steven Vetter of Chalfont, PA, his wife, Robbie;
daughter, Carol Garcia of Fruita; granddaughters, Sara Silverman
of Woodcliff Lake, NJ, and Emily Vetter of Fruita, and greatgrandchildren, Theo, Audrey and Malcolm.
Funeral services will be at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, February 19,
at Callahan-Edfast Mortuary. Family visitation and viewing will be
Tuesday, February 18, from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at the mortuary.
