Born Linda Diann Weeks, Linda lived a life filled with love, laughter, faith, and a deep devotion to her family. She was a loving and feisty woman who had a gift for making people smile.

Her daughter, granddaughters, and extended family were an important part of her life, and the love she shared with them will continue to live on through the memories they hold dear. She will be remembered for her strong personality, her sense of humor, her loving heart, and the joy she brought into the lives of those around her.
Linda also had a deep love for God and a passion for serving at church. She loved meeting new people and building connections with those around her. Within her church family, she became known for her warm hugs and beautiful smile. Her faith became an important part of who she was, and she shared God’s love through the way she welcomed, encouraged, and cared for others. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, laughter, faith, and love that will continue to touch the lives of those who knew her.
Linda is survived by her daughter, Amanda Kaye Larson; three granddaughters, Riley Shaye Gina Larson-Moore (Jonathan), Kendal Dian French Larson, and Brooklyn Emma Rose Larson; two sisters, Sharon Halley (Tom) and Elizabeth Kennedy; niece and nephews, Shane Halley (Beth), Keegan Halley (Lauryn), and Tara Halley.
