Linda Ann Orrell

She was born on May 28, 1941, to James and Eva McNeil in Highland Park, Illinois. Later they moved to Colorado where she graduated from Longmont High School in 1959. After she graduated, she met her husband, Jerry S. Orrell and they were married on April 6, 1962. After moving to Seattle while Jerry was in the Army, the couple moved back to Longmont and that is where they grew their family which includes two daughters, Dianna and Karla. Linda loved her family, friends, and God. She attended Longs Peak United Methodist Church, where she was part of the women’s group.
