Linda Adams

Born February 20th , 1933

Passed February 18th , 2026

Linda, our dearest wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend was called to join her boys just two days before her 93rd birthday. She passed warm, and without pain, in her bed at her granddaughter's home in Riverton Utah, where she had been staying since January of 2025.

Linda was preceded in death by all 4 of her beloved boys - Bernie Lee, Lonnie Lee, Mike Lee, and Joe Lee, as well as her first grandchild, Amy Suzanne, her parents and 9 of her 11 siblings.

Linda is survived by her husband David, her brother Lionel, sister Ernestina, 14 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, and 6 great-great grandchildren.

Linda was a beloved member of her community in Barstow, California and had long lasting friendships with so many people who she adored. She was so proud of the entrepreneurial legacy she left behind, including Linda's Cantina and Linda's Tax Service. Her humble and difficult beginnings carved her into a strong-willed woman who never gave up and never took no for an answer. Her extreme strength and determination inspired so many of the people who knew and loved her to reach for the stars.

She told me specifically that she did not want a wordy obituary full of BS - so I will honor her wishes. We love you and will miss you Nana.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Mead Mortuary, 36930 Irwin Road, Barstow, CA 92311, US, on March 20, 2026, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
