Linda Jean Richardson Butch passed away peacefully on December 5, 2019 at her home in Tempe, Arizona. Born to the late Edward and Jeanette Richardson on April 20, 1948, Linda lived many happy years in Anchorage, Alaska, where she met the love of her life, Wayne, and began raising their treasured son, Anthony. In 1998, they relocated to Tempe to begin new careers and adventures.
Despite the numerous health challenges she faced, Linda lived her life joyfully and gracefully, building a successful bookkeeping business, overseeing Wayne's restoration of a number of classic automobiles and, in more recent years, enjoying long RV trips and spoiling her three grandchildren.
Linda is survived by her husband of 47 years, Wayne; son, Anthony Butch (Kate); three grandchildren, Libby, Tommy and Jack; and stepsiblings, Bob Beckner, Pete Beckner, Grace Walls, Charlotte Beckner, and Faith Beckner. Linda's perseverance and steadfastness remain an inspiration to all who knew her, and she will be missed dearly.
A funeral mass for Linda will be held on Saturday, December 14, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Faith Community (4715 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85012).
