Linda Ann Quilente, 64, of Phoenix, Arizona went to join her mom, dad and sister, in Heaven, on April 9, 2019. Linda was born on November 25, 1954 to Hortense (Martinez) and Rosalino Quilente Sr. in Fresno, California, the second of 4 brother and sisters. Linda and her family lived in many different places as her father was a farm worker. When Linda was about 9 years old her family settled in Phoenix and made it their home. She attended school in Phoenix, graduating from Carl Hayden High School. Linda had always wanted a career in Management so she went to school in search of her Business Degree. She landed a job with Western Savings & Loan (later called Bank of American) which turned into a 30 year career. After retiring from the bank Linda found herself looking for something to do. Following her sister’s career, Linda tried her hand as a Child Support Officer with the The State of Arizona Child Support Enforcement Agency. Linda loved many things. She collected Angels and loved to watch action movies like Chuck Norris Karate, WWE and Hallmark Channel but her favorite were Bruce Lee movies. Linda’s passion and her heart was her family. The best times for her was spending time with her sisters & brother and nieces and nephews, and taking pictures with her phone so she could go back and look at them later.
Linda leaves behind her brother Ross (Christy) Quilente and sister Violet Quilente; nieces and nephews John (Ashley), Leticia (Dennis), Meghann (Ryan), Katrina (Jacob), Lindsey (Cody) and Hannah; and 14 great nieces and nephews.
