Linda Diane Heinrich

Born on February 17, 1950, Linda lived a life marked by dedication to her family, her students and the many passions that brought her joy. For more than three decades, she inspired young minds as a science teacher, first at Parkrose High School and later at Westview High School.

Linda shared 57 wonderful years of marriage with her devoted husband, Dan. Together they built a loving family and created countless cherished memories.

She is survived by her husband, Dan; her children, Chris, Mike, and Lesley; three grandchildren; and one great-grandson. Her family was the center of her world and she treasured every opportunity to spend time with them. Whether celebrating milestones, sharing stories, or simply enjoying each other's company, Linda's love and presence enriched their lives immeasurably.

Linda embraced life with enthusiasm and adventure. She especially enjoyed racing sports cars with her family, a pastime that reflected her spirited nature and love of excitement. She served as President of both the International Conference of Sports Car Clubs and Cascade Sports Car Club. Those who knew her will remember her warmth, determination, sense of humor and unwavering support for the people she loved.

Linda's legacy lives on through her family, her former students and all who were fortunate enough to know her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Beaverton, OR.
