Linda Y. Ramirez-Salinas

My loving wife, Linda Y. Ramirez-Salinas passed away on Saturday January 17, 2026, at the age of 65. She was born on January 11, 1961, in Laredo, Texas where she grew up.

Linda graduated from J.W. Nixon High School and attended St. Edwards University where she received her bachelor’s degree in education and art.

Linda worked for the Austin Independent School District as an elementary teacher as well as at Jackie's Academy as an elementary art teacher.

Linda was deeply involved in her church and community, giving her time and heart to church groups, clubs, and children’s religious programs. She had a true passion for art and brought creativity into everything she did. Whether it was a large project or the smallest detail, Linda poured herself into it completely. Her creativity, faith, and dedication touched many lives, and her spirit will be remembered in the beauty and care she brought to her family and those around her.
