Linda Kay Rightmer

Linda was a loving and devoted woman, whose greatest joy in her life was her family, especially her grandchildren. She had a remarkable gift for creating things with her hands. Linda loved sewing and was well known for making Halloween costumes for her grandchildren—something they eagerly looked forward to each year. She also enjoyed quilting, crocheting, and tending to her flowers. Her kitchen was often filled with the sweet smell of homemade pies and jams, lovingly shared with family and friends.

Linda is survived by her daughter, Tanya Pope of Severance; son-in-law, Don Pope; sister, Patricia McEntyre of Arizona; brother-in-law, Morris McEntyre; grandchildren, Joshua Cohen, Chelsea Dekrey, Mikaela Rios and Allie Pope; great-grandchildren, Addison Dekrey, Greyson Cohen, Ella Dekrey, Makenzie Cohen, Aleigha Rios and Hayes Rios; and niece and her family, Lisa Simpson, Craig Simpson and Glen Simpson all of Arizona.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Vicki Walker; her son, William Rattigan; and her great grandson, Micah Dekrey.

Linda will be remembered for her kindness, creativity, and the love she poured into everything she made, including the five pies she would bake for the holidays. Her family will treasure the warmth and joy she brought into their lives, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

A Celebration of Linda's Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, April 11, 2026 at Foundations Church, 1159 Main Street, Windsor.
