Linda Marie Micheli

Linda was born to Argentino and Margaret Lombardo and grew up in the Beacon Hill area of Seattle. She attended Colman Elementary and Franklin High School. She spent her early years singing in choir and studied classical piano. Linda was an accomplished pianist and also won a business scholarship. At a high school graduation party she met her best friend and future life partner Luigi Micheli. They were married 59 years and made their home in Magnolia. Linda worked in the mortgage banking industry, primarily as a loan officer for Continental Mortgage but also in commercial property management for Lorig Associates. She studied psychology at the University of Washington and also taught classical piano out of her home. Linda and Luigi traveled to 29 different countries, including but not limited to Japan, Brazil, Australia, Morocco, and made several trips to numerous countries in Europe. When not traveling, she spent her free time entertaining for family and friends. Linda would spend countless hours perfecting recipes and planning elaborate meals, especially for Thanksgiving and Easter. In retirement, Linda and Luigi moved to Everett to be closer to their grandson. In her new home she made even more new friends and learned even more new recipes. Linda will be remembered most for her unwavering smile, her kindness, her hospitality and generous spirit. She never met a stranger and made each person feel as if they were the most important person in the world.
