Linda Susan Legaspina Soliven

Linda was born on September 4, 1955 and was born and raised in Tagudin Ilocos Sur, Philippines. She lived in San Diego, CA and then moved to Seattle, WA with her youngest daughter Angelica Anne. She is the 2nd eldest daughter of six siblings. She had four children who loved and cherished her no matter the distance that was between them all. Linda also loved all her grandchildren so much, she would buy them gifts to send to them when she could.

Linda was a strong, fun, loving, and caring woman. She loved to work and loved to help out different charities regardless of not knowing who they were. Linda was such a giver regardless of all the difficult events that had happened in her life. She made tough sacrifices and decisions to be sure all her children lived a happy life. She was always waking up every day with a huge smile on her face. She loved to sing, enjoyed binge watching movies and most of all enjoyed delicious food with her daughter Angelica.

She loved her family and friends so much. Linda spent her days off talking hours and hours on the phone with her children who lived miles and miles away. Her only wish was to have all her children with her one day whether it was in the Philippines or vacation visits in the US.

Linda loved her mother so much. She always made sure that Inang stayed strong until she returned home to her. She promised her that once she returns they can walk together everyday and create more beautiful memories together. Linda is known to be stubborn, but she’s also known to be so kind and loving to all of her siblings.

She is survived by her Sons Vince Soliven Pola, James Soliven Pola, her daughters Maricris Soliven Pola, Angelica Anne Soliven Go, her daughter-in-law Jhonnarriza Pola, son-in-law Mohamed Fayaz, adopted daughters Diane Canilang and Azarely Gutierrez, and her 5 grand children, Faris Pola, Reema Pola, Elias Pola, Zahraan Mohamed Fayaz, and Fathima Zaynab Mohamed Fayaz. Her family is always united and strong regardless of the distance.

She was a mother, a father, a sister , a brother, a daughter, and a best friend. She is loved and cared for by everyone. She inspires everyone’s hearts and welcomes everyone with open arms. She is a child of God, always praying, and God needed His strongest warriors out there at his right hand in heaven. She may be gone in the world, but not from our hearts. Goodbyes are not forever, they are not the end; they simply mean “I will miss you” until we meet again.
