Linda died peacefully
at home with her loving
husband by her side.
Linda was born and
raised in South Dakota,
the oldest of four girls. She
attended Huron College,
where she met Denny at a freshman orientation party in
1956 and were married December 21, 1958, beginning
a lifelong adventure.
They spent their early married life in Chamberlain,
SD before moving to Los Angeles, where Linda
supported Denny through graduate school. Afterwards
they moved around southern Minnesota where they
started their family prior to settling in Grand Junction
in 1970, finding their forever home and the community
they loved.
Linda’s proudest achievement was being a mom to
four active boys. She was their ultimate fan, always
supporting them through their numerous sports and
passions. Family meant everything to Linda, and she was
excited to welcome daughters-in-law and grandchildren.
Bob (Lynda) of Grand Junction, Tom (Mimi) of Auburn,
NY, Mike (Katrina) of Grand Junction and Andy (Amy)
of Fort Collins, CO. Grandchildren included Gretchen
(Bobby), Lisel (Geoff), Rachel (Kyler), Nicole, Max,
Axel, Emma and Ryan along with 3 great-grandchildren.
After raising her boys, Linda worked at Hilltop as
an administrative assistant and supported Denny every
step of the way. This partnership lasted 64 years, filled
with love and endless adventure.
Together they traveled the world, visiting 63 countries,
making lasting friends along the way. Walking the
Great Wall, riding camels among the Pyramids, floating
the Amazon, safariing in Africa, ballooning over
Cappadocia, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, and
hiking the Grand Canyon being amongst the highlights.
Additionally, Linda planned epic RV trips to the
corners of North America, from Alaska to Nova Scotia
and Cancun to Cabo San Lucas, and nearly everywhere
in between, traveling to all 50 states and visiting 46 of
the National Parks.
The “dash” between 1938-2022, was filled with life.
Linda will be remembered as a loving wife, mother
and grandmother. Her sense of adventure will live on
through her family.
A celebration of life will be held at First United
Methodist Church on August 20th at 10am. Private
family reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made
to Hilltop, 1331 Hermosa Avenue, Grand Junction, CO
81506.
